Analysis of the diagnosis and management of cervical ectopic pregnancies in Ecuador, through the study of cases described in the bibliography

Abstract

Ectopic pregnancy is a condition in which the fertilized egg implants and begins to grow outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. Currently, with the advancement of science, the diagnosis can be made within the first weeks of evolution, after fertilization, identifying the gestational sac in the cervix using ultrasound techniques that seek to implement a measured treatment that does not affect the fertility of the the patient. The objective of the research consists of analysis of the diagnosis and management of cervical ectopic pregnancies in Ecuador, through the study of cases described in the bibliography. The type of research is of a descriptive bibliographic nature, because it seeks to identify the diagnostic tools and clinical criteria described, as well as risk factors described in the bibliography. There are clinical criteria that help detect a cervical ectopic pregnancy such as intense abdominal and pelvic pain, abundant vaginal bleeding, hemorrhages and sensitivity in the area near the cervix. Among the treatment options that exist are medications such as methotrexate or some others that inhibit embryonic growth. In Ecuador this problem is growing and is due to the absence of knowledge about the malformation and the lack of a protocol for its management and resolution, given that there is no established order in how to treat patients with this pathology, causing medical care slows down and generates greater complications
