What to do when getting pregnant at the cornu uteri? The method of returning the cornu uteri to its normal position during pregnancy
If pregnant, the implantation site is located in the right corner of the uterus and can only be observed regularly. If there is no bleeding or abdominal pain, the embryo continues to develop towards the uterine cavity, which is usually not a major problem. If bleeding, abdominal pain, or embryonic development belong to ectopic pregnancy, generally ectopic pregnancy is a more dangerous situation.
What to do when pregnant at the corner of the uterus
If an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, there will be massive bleeding. Therefore, if the pregnancy is due to poor placement of the gestational sac, relevant examinations must be performed. If it is confirmed to be an ectopic pregnancy, it must be treated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the rupture of the ectopic pregnancy uterus can cause massive bleeding and be life-threatening. This type of bleeding is relatively large, aggressive, and high-risk. Therefore, once an ectopic pregnancy occurs, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations. If the pregnancy is not in a good position, relevant examinations must be conducted, which has a significant impact on daily life and requires active symptomatic treatment.
Method of returning the uterine horn pregnancy to its normal position
Uterine pregnancy cannot be treated with special methods and can only be observed continuously. Sometimes, the gestational sac gradually increases and returns to the middle of the uterine cavity. However, if it continues to grow in the uterine cavity, it is a very dangerous situation, and may even grow in the interstitial space of the fallopian tubes. If necessary, the pregnancy can be terminated.
After the occurrence of cornual pregnancy, it is necessary to carefully observe the position of the gestational sac to see if it can recover to the middle of the uterine cavity, and determine the next gestational sac and treatment method based on the situation.
What are the symptoms of cornual pregnancy?
If there is vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain during pregnancy, timely ultrasound examination is necessary to rule out the risk of ectopic pregnancy, especially the risk of ectopic pregnancy; Typical ectopic rupture can cause severe abdominal pain and hemorrhagic shock symptoms.
How to diagnose cornual pregnancy?
The diagnosis of cornual pregnancy mainly relies on pelvic ultrasound examination. Vaginal ultrasound is more accurate than abdominal ultrasound. When necessary, three-dimensional ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is feasible. Therefore, once the sisters sisters who received IVF assisted pregnancy is confirmed to be pregnant, it is necessary to conduct ultrasonic examination in time according to the doctor's explanation to exclude the possibility of adverse pregnancy.
According to the growth trend of the gestational sac, cornual pregnancy can be divided into two types, namely type I: the vast majority of gestational sacs grow in the uterine cavity, the uterine horn is not prominent, and the risk of rupture and bleeding is low. Under close monitoring, the gestational sac gradually develops into the uterine cavity, and pregnancy reaches the middle and late stages. Type II: The gestational sac mainly grows outside the uterine horn, which is significantly protruding towards the outside of the uterus, with a high risk of rupture and bleeding.
How to treat cornual pregnancy once confirmed?
During cornual pregnancy, some lucky pregnant women may become pregnant to term and undergo vaginal delivery. However, during pregnancy, some pregnant women still have the risk of miscarriage and bleeding from uterine horn rupture, and attention should be paid to residual placenta in the uterine horn.
Pregnant women with cornual pregnancy are not allowed to continue their pregnancy and need to terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner to avoid rupture and massive bleeding that may endanger their lives. In the early stages of pregnancy, the gestational sac remains relatively small. Pregnant women can undergo targeted clearance of miscarriage through ultrasound or intrauterine ultrasound monitoring. Sometimes, for safety reasons, they may need to clear the palace under laparoscopic monitoring. Pregnant women who cannot undergo miscarriage or major bleeding require laparoscopic cornual pregnancy resection and open surgery, which is also one of the emergency surgeries for cornual pregnancy rupture.
