Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Ectopic pregnancy is one in which fertilized ovum become implanted in site other than normal uterine cavity. Ectopic pregnancy commonly occurs in the fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal death in early pregnancy. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy is complicated by wide spectrum of clinical presentations, from asymptomatic cases to acute abdomen, and hemodynamic shock. There is considerable regional variation in its incidence. Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of all cases of ectopic pregnancy admitted in IGIMS, Patna was done from January 2014 to December 2016. Results: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy in present study was 2.1%. Majority of patients were multigravida (94.1%) and in the age group of 25-35 years (70.4%). PID was the strongest risk factor found in 35.29%. Other risk factors were tube ligation (23%), LSCS (11.76%), history of abortion/MTP (17.64%). Commonest clinical presentation was pain abdomen (88.23%) followed by amenorrhoea (70.58). bleeding per vagina and adnexal mass was clinical presentation in 64.7% of patients. The site of ectopic was fallopian fallopian tube in all the patients and all patients were managed surgically. Anemia, blood transfusion and wound dehisence was the commonest morbidity seen. No mortality was reported in the present study. Conclusion: The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is on rise. It is a common life threating emergency in first trimester of pregnancy that leads to serious maternal morbidity and also can cause mortality. A high index of suspicion is required for its early diagnosis, so that proper management can be done and the complications can be avoided.
