Ectopic Pregnancy (Pregnancy in Fallopian tube) is dangerous if not taken care at early stage

There are many types of pregnancy which include multiple pregnancy, molar pregnancy, tubal pregnancy, lupus pregnancy, and intrauterine pregnancy. Intrauterine pregnancy is a safe pregnancy because the fetus develops in the uterus itself, but there is also a pregnancy in which the child does not develop in the uterus. This is called ectopic pregnancy.

In India, 3.0-7.0% of women lose their lives due to ectopic pregnancy. Sometimes ectopic pregnancy can occur in the ovaries as well as the fallopian tubes. A woman must visit a doctor within 2 weeks of missing her period so that her life can be saved and her health gets better in time. If treatment is not done in time, the woman may even die.

1. Pregnancy occurring outside the uterus: Generally, pregnancy occurs in the uterus. There are ovaries on both sides of the uterus which connect it to the fallopian tube. Every month, after ovulation, i.e. after periods, an egg called ovum is released from the ovary, which gets fertilized in the fallopian tube and reaches the uterus. But sometimes this fertile egg gets stuck in the fallopian tube itself due to which the embryo starts developing in this tube. This is called ectopic pregnancy or tubal pregnancy. The fallopian tubes are 4 to 5 inches long and 0.2 to 0.6 inches wide. When the fetus starts growing, the risk of rupture of the fallopian tube increases.

2. The tube bursts in the stomach itself: If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, the fetus gradually grows in this thin tube. Because of this, this tube can burst in the stomach any time after the 7th week of pregnancy. If it bursts, bleeding starts inside the stomach, which the patient is not even aware of. Due to internal bleeding, the patient starts going into shock. This reduces blood pressure and leads to fainting. This situation is fatal. If there is no miscarriage, the tube has to be removed: In ectopic pregnancy, the fertile egg is often destroyed immediately, followed by mild pain and bleeding. Such symptoms are considered miscarriage. But sometimes the situation becomes serious and in 99% of such cases, the fallopian tube has to be removed through surgery. After this, the woman becomes dependent on the second tube for pregnancy, which reduces the woman's chances of pregnancy. But nowadays 'Laparoscoping Milking Technique' is being adopted due to which there is no need to remove the fallopian tube.

3. Pregnancy test comes positive: Ectopic pregnancy is detected only through sonography. If a woman has this pregnancy, then her test comes positive from the pregnancy kit. Actually, as soon as a woman becomes pregnant, a hormone called Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is produced in the body. It is detected in both blood and urine. If a woman conceives in the fallopian tube outside the uterus, the pregnancy test card (PTC) will have a light line instead of a deep one. The woman also experiences blood spotting and stomach pain. After doing the pregnancy test yourself, you should definitely get a checkup done by a doctor.

4. Symptoms are not visible in the beginning: Ectopic pregnancy initially looks like a normal pregnancy. In this, the woman's periods stop. There is anemia, dizziness occurs, vomiting also occurs, and the breast becomes hard but at the same time, mild or severe pain and bleeding can also occur. If blood leaks from the fallopian tube. If so, there may be a pain in the shoulder, or the veins wherever blood accumulates may be affected.

5. Contraception can also cause problems: Some women get Copper T i.e. Intra Uterine Device i.e. IUD installed for contraception. Although the chances of getting pregnant from it are very low, if it is not applied properly in the private part then there is a fear of pregnancy. This pregnancy may be ectopic.

6. Ectopic pregnancy due to sexually transmitted infection: If a woman has unprotected sex and contracts a sexually transmitted infection such as gonorrhea or chlamydia, then this sexually transmitted infection affects the woman's fallopian tubes and the reproductive organs around them. Due to this also, women become victims of ectopic pregnancy. To avoid this pregnancy, one should avoid having multiple sexual partners and always use a condom.

7. The joy of becoming a mother can be taken away: Women who have problems with their fallopian tubes and have ever had tubal surgery may also have to face this type of pregnancy. Even if this pregnancy ends after surgery in the form of miscarriage, the woman may have to face the problem of infertility. But through IVF a woman can become a mother again. Many times ectopic pregnancy occurs due to IVF.

8. Take care of diet: Ectopic pregnancy mostly requires surgery, but nowadays many such medicines are available due to which this pregnancy does not survive. After ectopic pregnancy, women need to pay more attention to their eating habits. Women should eat things rich in fiber so that they do not suffer from constipation. You should also drink raw pasteurized milk which will help in fighting infections. Apart from this, fish and egg yolk should be included in the diet. After laparoscopy treatment, a woman should avoid eating rice, egg whites, spinach, ginger, coffee, soya milk, and pulses.

The major symptom of this is jaw bone paralysis impossible to treat fully.

10. Tongue difficulties (Jihva Stambha): When Vayu is caught in the tendons, nerves, and veins near the vocal cord, it causes paralysis of the tongue with the consequent inability to swallow and speak 

11. Lockjaw (Hanusramsa): Loose jaw or lockjaw. Owing to excess tongue scrapping, eating dry foods, and trauma, Vayu becomes localized and excessed at the lower jaw. This displaces the lower jaw, making it stay open or closed, causing chewing and speaking difficulties. Healing is very difficult. Long-term conditions are incurable.

12. Facial paralysis(audit): Vayu becomes excessed and localized in the upper body from carrying heavy loads on the head, excess laughing, speaking, facial exertion (eg. mimicking), sneezing, physical strains, sleeping on an uneven or hard pillow, and chewing very hard foods.

Hemiplegia – half of the body veins and tendons (Pakshavadha OR Ekangaroga): When Vayu becomes excessed in half of the body, drying the veins and tendons by loosening the joints the result is loss of the function and tactile sensation. Apart from that the Vayu, pitta, and Kapha, doshas are responsible for causing many such incurable diseases if left untreated these are Arm paralysis, leg paralysis, stiffness in thighs, knee swelling, ankle pain, finger/toe contractions, foot sleeping, burning sole, stammering, cutting pain in rectum, bladder, lower abdomen distension, upper abdominal distention, prostrate tumors (painless or painful), and tremors. Now dear readers you will be able to know how the convulsion is dangerous and many times not curable too. So, if the production of Vayu is more in our body, we have to be very conscious to take treatment.
