Ectopic Pregnancy | Early Scan Saves Tubes | Early Detection - English

Approximately 1 in 100 pregnancies is an ectopic pregnancy located outside the uterus. Catching this early in the first few weeks can allow for treatment with a simple injection, saving your tubes and future fertility. Dr. Prashanth G MS OBG explains the essential protocols to find it before it finds you. DOCTORS ADVICE • Schedule your first dating ultrasound scan exactly between 6 and 7 weeks from your last period. • Confirm the location of the pregnancy as a urine test only says pregnant while a scan says safe. • Use the 48-hour Beta-hCG rule to check if hormone levels are doubling or plateauing. • Track one-sided lower belly pain in a pain journal as a medical priority. • Understand that an ectopic pregnancy cannot be moved to the uterus once implanted. SYMPTOMS • Shoulder tip pain where the shoulder meets the arm indicating internal bleeding. • Prune juice spotting or dark brown watery discharge. • Severe one-sided sharp pain in the lower abdomen. • Dizziness or fainting due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.
