This is ectopic pregnancy.

This patient consulted 10 months ago because of secondary infertility.

Her 1st pregnancy was 5 years ago.

She also has polycystic ovaries.

We did Saline Infusion SonoHysterogram to check patency of her tubes and results showed patent bilateral tubes.

She got pregnant, however, the pregnancy implanted in the fallopian tube.

An emergency exploratory laparotomy was done with minimal hemoperitoneum.

We then did left salpingectomy.

The procedure was unremarkable and the patient was discharged after around 40 hours.

This is a case of a 44 y.o. patient who had an expired Cu-T IUD.

Cu-T IUDs are contraceptive devices that are designed to last for 10 years only.
This one was placed in 2012 making it 4 years overdue.

Transvaginal sonogram showed "displaced and partially embedded IUD".

She can no longer palpate the thread for so long.

Upon inspection, no thread was also visible per os.

Guided by the ultrasound result, we tried to locate the distal end of the IUD and sound it using a hysterometer.

Luckily, the IUD was easily and successfully removed in the clinic.

Ang lynestrenol ay isang uri ng progestin-only-pill (POP) na maaaring inumin bilang kontrasepsyon.

Ito ay ibinibigay sa mga babaeng nagpapadeded, naninigarilyo, o may mataas na presyon ng dugo (high blood pressure).

Ito ay iniinom sa parehong oras araw araw upang maging epektibo.

Libre itong ipinamimigay sa mga health center at sa aking mga clinic, while supply lasts.

Kumunsulta sa isang health center malapit sa iyo o sa iyong OB-GYN kung ang pills na ito ay angkop sa iyo.
