The Health status of María Becerra It generated great concern among his followers after it transcended his urgency hospitalization. Finally, it was the artist herself who, through her social networks, confirmed that It must have been operated after crossing a new ectopic pregnancy, a severe medical condition that resulted in internal bleeding. The case put a condition that, although rarely frequent, can be potentially deadly in the center of the scene.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized ovum is implanted outside the uterus. It cannot be developed safely and requires immediate medical attention. In most cases, it is located in the fallopian tubesalthough it can also be located in the ovaries, the cervix or even the abdomen. Not being able to grow normally, This pregnancy represents a high risk for women’s health.
A dangerous condition that requires immediate intervention
Also, this picture It can be potentially deadly and requires immediate medical attentionsince the ovule cannot develop correctly, which generates serious risks to women’s health. In recent years, various studies allowed better to understand the causes and consequences of this condition, as well as offer more precise and less invasive treatments, according to May Clinic experts.
According to a study published by the United States Health Libraries, the incidence of ectopic pregnancies as a cause of maternal mortality in the first quarter is 5% to 10% of all deaths related to pregnancy. In that tone, the work highlights that the diagnosis is made through ultrasound and monitoring of a hormone characteristic of pregnancy; being that 75% of these gestations are detected in early stages thanks to the combined use of these methods.
What is an ectopic pregnancy?
In simple terms, An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized ovum adheres out of the uterus cavity. The most common place of this type of pregnancy is the fallopian tube, but it can also occur in the ovaries, the abdomen or even in the cervix.
Various factors can increase the probability that a woman experiences an ectopic pregnancy. According to experts from the National Library of Medicine of the United States, Medline Plus, the main cause of this disorder is when the ovule cannot travel normally through fallopian tubes towards the uterus.
This can be caused by several factorssuch as previous infections, endometriosis, or even scars of previous surgeries in the reproductive organs. In addition, women who had an ectopic pregnancy previously have a greater risk of happening again.
Dr. Federico Bianchi, an oncological gynecologist and mastologist (MN 134936), head of gynecology at the German Hospital and the Sanatorium Güemes, referred to the singer’s painting and explained: “Among the causes that can produce an ectopic pregnancy is to have had a previous one, since there is a predisposition to have it. The importance of considering whether or not he presented bleeding, since this generates more adhesions, although the risk does not fall or increase. The risk, many times, is mechanical, by altered tubes. ”
Possible complications: hemorrhages and emergency surgeries
According to the expert, the nature of the risk may depend on the surgery performed in the first episode. “If a tube was extracted in the first surgery, for example, it could occur in the other, due to irritation,” explained the specialist, who also stressed the importance of considering whether or not the ectopic pregnancy presented or not bleeding, since this can generate a predisposition for a second case.
Bianchi also described how Internal hemorrhage originates when arteries that nourish the trunk begin to bleed towards the abdomen, generating a hemoperitoneum, which causes a decrease in blood volume in the body and a hypovolem pictureia. According to the specialist, “That is the greatest risk”.
-While adding that, In addition to previous ectopic pregnancies, various surgical interventions in the abdominal zone, such as appendicitis, endometriosis or surgeries in the colon, can alter the anatomy of the tubes and predispose to an ectopic pregnancy.
Proper diagnosis and treatment can save lives
The importance of the early diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy is key to preventing serious complications. Initial symptoms can be quite similar to those of a normal pregnancysuch as the lack of menstruation, the sensitivity in the breasts and the nausea. However, as progress, more specific signs may occur, such as pelvic pain or mild vaginal bleeding.
If it is not detected in time, Ectopic pregnancy can cause the rupture of the fallopian tube, which generates serious and potentially deadly internal bleeding. In these cases, it is essential to seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Ectopic pregnancy, which develops outside the uterus, can occur in different locations, such as cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries or even abdomen. It is for that reason that Bianchi deepened: “The problem mostly occurs in fallopian tubes.”
Treatment options and subsequent care
As pregnancy grows, complications increase. “The most frequent is that pregnancy stops, which causes the tube to begin to generate contractions and, in turn, a tubal abortion that can be accompanied by bleeding,” he said. While indicating: “All ectopic pregnancies can generate bleeding. More often ectopic pregnancy occurs in fallopian tubes? Yes. “Although he clarified:” The most frequent is the tubar or tube, the abdominal is the least frequent. But they can cause bleeding. ”
Regarding the importance of time intervention, Bianchi stressed that “If you don’t act quickly, the person’s life is at risksince it bleeds in the abdomen. ”Finally, about the future of a woman who has experienced an ectopic pregnancy, warned that” the future will depend on the conditions of the tubes and ovaries. ”
To confirm the diagnosis, doctors usually perform a transvaginal ultrasound and blood analysis that measures HCG levels. If the amniotic bag is not detected and the hormonal levels are high, an ectopic pregnancy is suspected.
Surgery, a necessary solution
The treatment for ectopic pregnancy depends on several factors, including symptoms and pregnancy location. When more advanced or has complications, surgical intervention is required. In these cases, “emergency surgery must be performed, which can be two options, which are laparotomy (NDER: conventional and” open “) or laparoscopic (NDER: Through small incisions). Here what is urgent is the life of the patient.”
On the treatment, Bianchi explained that if the patient does not present a hypovolemic shock and the ectopic pregnancy is controlled, surgery can be programmed: “If the ectopic pregnancy is not complicated or decompensated, surgery can be programmed whenever there is a strict control of the patient.” (With newspaper information Infobae)
