An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. Symptoms can include abdominal or pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding. Risk factors include previous ectopic pregnancy, IUD use, STDs, smoking, and infertility treatments. Diagnosis is made through pelvic exam, transvaginal ultrasound, and blood tests. Treatment options depend on individual factors but may include observation, laparoscopy, laparotomy, or medication. Most women can have normal pregnancies in the future even if a fallopian tube is removed.

Terminology, definitions, etiology, clinical features, management, and complications of abortion are discussed in detail in the document. Abortion is defined as the expulsion of an embryo or fetus weighing 500 grams or less. Etiology includes both maternal and fetal factors. Clinical features, management, and nursing care are described for different types of abortion including threatened, inevitable, incomplete, missed, septic, and recurrent abortion. Complications of abortion and medical termination of pregnancy are also outlined.
1. Abortion is defined as delivery occurring before 28 weeks of gestation and can be spontaneous or induced. Common causes include genetic abnormalities, infection, endocrine or immunological factors.
2. Ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. Rupture of an ectopic pregnancy can be life-threatening due to hemorrhage. Diagnosis is made through symptoms, ultrasound identification of an adnexal mass, and positive beta-hCG tests.

This document discusses antepartum haemorrhage (APH), which is bleeding from the vagina during pregnancy between 24 weeks of gestation and term. It defines APH and provides information on its importance, common causes such as placenta praevia and placental abruption, associated risks, diagnostic evaluation, potential complications, and management approach, which involves admission to the hospital for resuscitation and treatment of the underlying cause of bleeding. Timely management is important to reduce risks of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removing the embryo or fetus before it can survive outside the uterus. Miscarriages that occur spontaneously are also known as abortions. The most common causes of abortion are fatal genetic problems in the fetus that are unrelated to the mother. Symptoms of abortion include vaginal bleeding, pelvic cramps or pain, and passing blood clots or fetal tissue from the vagina. Risk factors include advanced maternal age, a history of recurrent miscarriages, infections, uterine abnormalities, and lifestyle factors like smoking or drug use. Diagnosis involves pelvic exams, ultrasounds, blood tests, and tissue testing if material has been passed. Treatment options for abortion include medication using mifep

The document discusses several antepartal hemorrhagic disorders including miscarriage, incompetent cervix, ectopic pregnancy, and hydatidiform mole. Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks gestation and can be threatened, inevitable, incomplete, complete or missed. An incompetent cervix involves passive and painless cervical dilation in the second trimester. Ectopic pregnancy is implantation outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. Hydatidiform mole results from abnormal fertilization and causes an enlarged uterus with vaginal bleeding resembling prune juice. Accurate diagnosis and treatment are needed to manage bleeding and prevent further complications.
A C-section delivery is the surgical removal of a baby from the mother's abdomen. Indications for a C-section include maternal factors like pelvic abnormalities or previous C-sections, as well as fetal factors like distress or abnormal presentation. C-sections are classified into four categories based on the urgency of the procedure. While generally safe, C-sections carry risks of short-term complications like infection and long-term risks like adhesions, uterine rupture during subsequent pregnancies, and abnormal placentation. Preoperative assessments for C-sections include testing vital signs, urine, blood counts, and fetal status via ultrasound.
Abortion is a leading cause of maternal mortality, accounting for 13% of maternal deaths worldwide and 32% in Ethiopia. Complications from unsafe abortion, which is defined as procedures done without proper skills or in unsanitary conditions, can cause severe infections and hemorrhaging. Post-abortion care aims to treat complications from both spontaneous and induced abortions, provide contraceptive services to prevent future unintended pregnancies, and offer counseling and referrals for other health needs. Recurrent spontaneous abortion, defined as 3 or more consecutive early pregnancy losses, can have causes such as chromosomal abnormalities, uterine anomalies, or immunological factors.
This document defines different types of abortion and provides information about their causes, symptoms, and management. The main types discussed are:
- Spontaneous abortion, which can be threatened, inevitable, complete, incomplete, missed, or septic depending on the progression. Common causes include genetic abnormalities and infections.
- Induced abortion, which is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy. It can be done through medical or surgical means.
- Incomplete abortion occurs when not all pregnancy tissue is expelled, requiring evacuation to prevent complications like bleeding or infection.
- Missed abortion describes a nonviable intrauterine pregnancy where the fetus has died but remains in the uterus. Ultrasound is usually needed to
This document discusses antepartum hemorrhage (APH), or bleeding from the female genital tract between 20-28 weeks of pregnancy until delivery. It defines the different types of APH such as simple or complicated, and describes the main causes - placenta previa, abruptio placentae, and vasa previa. Risk factors, signs and symptoms, investigations, and management are outlined for each condition. Complications for both mother and baby are also noted. The key is to assess the ABCs, monitor the fetus, provide supportive care or intervention as needed depending on the etiology and severity of bleeding.
Spontaneous abortion, also known as miscarriage, is the unplanned expulsion or extraction of an embryo or fetus before 20 weeks of gestation. Risk factors include advanced maternal age, previous spontaneous abortions, smoking, and certain medications. Most spontaneous abortions are due to fetal chromosomal or structural abnormalities. Clinically, women present with vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain. Diagnosis involves pelvic examination, ultrasound criteria for gestational sac size and fetal heart activity. Treatment options include expectant management, medical methods using misoprostol, or surgical evacuation. Prevention focuses on preconception counseling and screening, and treating underlying maternal conditions.
This document discusses various diseases and complications that can occur during pregnancy. It covers topics such as asthma, diabetes, infections, preeclampsia, and other medical conditions that may impact a pregnancy. It also outlines complications that can arise during labor and delivery, including premature rupture of membranes, abnormal fetal presentation, shoulder dystocia, and fetal-pelvic disproportion. Some complications may require medical interventions like induction of labor, operative vaginal delivery, or Cesarean section. The risks of any medical procedures during pregnancy should be explained to the patient.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a potentially life-threatening complication that occurs after childbirth. It is defined as excessive bleeding, either visible or concealed, that occurs within 24 hours of delivery and results in a decrease in hemoglobin concentration or requires transfusion of blood products.
There are several causes of PPH, including uterine atony (failure of the uterus to contract properly), trauma to the birth canal, retained placenta, and coagulation disorders. Risk factors for PPH include previous PPH, multiple gestation, prolonged labor, large fetal size, and placenta previa.
Symptoms of PPH can include heavy or continuous bleeding, a decrease in blood pressure, an increase in heart rate, and signs of shock. If PPH is suspected, immediate medical attention is required. Treatment may include medication to stimulate uterine contractions, manual removal of any retained placental tissue, or surgery.
Prevention of PPH can be achieved through proper management of labor and delivery, including active management of the third stage of labor (delivery of the placenta) and early recognition of risk factors. Close monitoring of the patient's vital signs, blood loss, and hemoglobin levels is also essential.
PPH is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication, but with appropriate management and early intervention, the risk of morbidity and mortality can be minimized.
An ectopic (extrauterine) pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus, most commonly in a fallopian tube. Risk factors include previous pelvic infections, infertility, or ectopic pregnancies. Symptoms include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis is made through ultrasound and beta-hCG blood tests. Treatment depends on severity but may include surgery or methotrexate injections. Complications can include infertility, infection, or even death from blood loss. Prognosis is generally good but recurrent ectopic pregnancies occur in 10-20% of cases.
This document discusses abortion from medical, legal, and criminal perspectives. Medically, abortion is defined as the expulsion of a fetus weighing 500g or less that is not viable outside the womb, usually occurring before 28 weeks. Legally, abortion is permitted under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act for medical or social indications up to certain gestational ages, by certified providers in authorized facilities. Criminal abortion refers to illegally induced abortions, which were historically performed dangerously and caused infections, injuries, and death. The document outlines abortion methods and their complications.
First trimester bleeding is common, occurring in 25% of pregnancies. While often resulting from miscarriage, it can also be caused by ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, or non-obstetric conditions. Miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of pregnancy before 24 weeks gestation or fetal weight under 500 grams. Risk factors for miscarriage include increased maternal age, smoking, alcohol, caffeine, obesity, toxins, radiation, prior miscarriages, uterine defects, and infections. Diagnosis involves pregnancy tests, ultrasound, and bloodwork. Complications can include infection, shock, and anemia. Treatment depends on the type and severity, ranging from observation to medication and surgical evacuation. Follow up care and family planning counseling
This document discusses hemorrhage in early pregnancy, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and hydatidiform mole. It provides definitions, risk factors, clinical features, management, and pathogenesis for each condition. Key points include:
- Miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) occurs in 10-20% of pregnancies and is often due to fetal chromosomal abnormalities or maternal factors like age. Management depends on severity from expectant to surgical evacuation.
- Recurrent miscarriage is defined as 2 or more losses and can be caused by genetic, endocrine, immune, or inherited factors.
- Ectopic pregnancies implant outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. Risk factors
Hydatidiform mole is a benign disorder characterized by degeneration of the chorion and death of the embryo, causing rapid proliferation of chorionic villi that produce large amounts of HCG. It carries risks such as recurrent molar pregnancies and development of gestational trophoblastic tumors without early intervention. Signs include excessive vomiting, bleeding, and rapid uterine growth disproportionate to gestational age. Treatment involves D&C followed by chemotherapy to prevent malignant cell growth.
This document defines abortion and miscarriage as pregnancy loss before 28 weeks or a fetal weight of 1000 grams. It classifies abortions as either induced, which are intentional terminations, or spontaneous, which occur despite the willingness to continue the pregnancy. The main causes of spontaneous abortions discussed are genetic abnormalities, endocrine/metabolic factors, mechanical issues, infections, immunological conditions, drug/alcohol use, and sometimes unknown causes. Clinical presentations vary based on factors like bleeding, pain, cervical dilation, and ultrasound findings. Complications can include hemorrhage, injury, infection, and infertility.
This document outlines the course content for a gynaecology course.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

3. CAUSES OF ABDOMINAL PAIN IN PREGNANCY
EARLY PREGNANCY LATE PREGNANCY
• Ectopic pregnancy
• Miscariage
• Appendicitis
• Gynaecology causes:
- Adnexal mass
- Ovarian torsion
- Leiomyoma
• UTI
• Constipation
• Placenta abruptio
• Pre-eclampsia
• Uterine rupture

4. ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
WHAT IS ECTOPIC PREGNANCY??
- An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg grows
outside of the uterus.
- As the pregnancy grows, it can cause the tube to burst (rupture)
and can cause major internal bleeding.
- This can be a life-threatening emergency that needs immediate
surgery.
5. Risk factor
The risk factors for ectopic pregnancy include the following:
• Previous ectopic pregnancy
• Prior fallopian tube surgery
• Previous pelvic or abdominal surgery
• Certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
• Endometriosis
Other factors:
•Cigarette smoking
•Age older than 35
years
•History of infertility
•Use of assisted
reproductive
technology, such as in
vitro fertilization (IVF)
6. SYMPTOMS
EARLY LATE
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
• Low back pain
• Mild pain in the abdomen or pelvis
• Mild cramping on one side of the pelvis
• Sudden, severe pain in the abdomen or pelvis
