[Reporter Xie Jieyu/Nantou Report] A sweet-looking 30-year-old girl from Nantou married last year and said goodbye to being single. At the beginning of March this year, due to delayed menstruation, the couple saw two lines showing pregnancy through the pregnancy test stick. I was very excited and had pre-registered for the obstetrics and gynecology clinic. Unexpectedly, on the eve of the consultation, I suddenly suffered from severe stomach pain. The patient was in shock, so the doctor arranged for minimally invasive endoscopic surgery, and it was confirmed that it was a rare "external broad ligament pregnancy". Fortunately, the patient's symptoms have improved after the operation and he is undergoing recuperation.

Ling Dawei, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Nantou Hospital, said that ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation of a fertilized egg outside the uterus, also known as ectopic pregnancy, and 95% of ectopic pregnancy occurs in the fallopian tube, and other rare places include the cervix, ovary, and abdominal cavity. etc., and the place of this patient's ectopic pregnancy is in the broad ligament, which only accounts for 1/300 of all ectopic pregnancies, which is quite rare, and usually requires surgery to find the correct location.

Some patients with ectopic pregnancy have no obvious symptoms, while some patients may have symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. If diagnosed early, they can be treated with drugs. When there are severe symptoms such as pain, emergency surgery is required, otherwise the life of the pregnant woman may be endangered.

Ling Dawei said that there are only sporadic case reports of this rare ectopic pregnancy, and most of them are treated with laparotomy. Nantou Hospital treats patients with minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. Compared with traditional surgery, not only the wound is smaller, but the pain is less , and postoperative recovery will be faster.

As ectopic pregnancy cannot be completely prevented at present, but the possibility of occurrence can be reduced by understanding the cause of the disease. Therefore, the hospital recommends that women of childbearing age should pay attention to their menstrual cycle. Finding a professional doctor for examination is the only way to ensure the safety of pregnant women and fetuses.

The Nantou Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare successfully rescued a pregnant woman with a rare "external broad ligament pregnancy".
