Chen Xia slid one hand over Chen Yu's abdomen and asked, "When was your last period?"
"I haven't had my period for about two months..."
"When you two were having sex, did you take any birth control measures or the pill?"
Chen Yulan's voice was as low as a mosquito, "No..."
Amenorrhea, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, these are the triad of symptoms of ectopic pregnancy.
Chen Xia was really anxious now, and quickly took out an HCG test strip and a disposable plastic cup from his backpack.
"Hurry, hurry, pee a little, then dip the test strip in the urine to see if there is one line or two. Hurry."
As soon as Chen Qiaogu saw his expression, she knew that something serious had happened. After Chen Xia left, she quickly supported Yulan and did the test.
About ten minutes later, Qiaogu came running over, "Chen Xia, two bars."
Chen Xia roared, "Chen Shengrong, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and carry him to my car. Someone's going to die soon. We need to rush him to the hospital."
Chen Yulan's current condition can basically be judged as miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
If it was an ectopic pregnancy, it meant a slight rupture, but fortunately the bleeding wasn't heavy. If heavy bleeding occurred, and Chen Xia happened to be away from the pharmaceutical factory, there would be only one outcome.
Chen Yulan is doomed to die.
This is why Chen Xia is anxious.
Ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy, is the most common and most dangerous acute abdominal disease in gynecology, with a high mortality rate.
The ovaries of adult women generally release one egg every month. The fallopian tube is the place where the sperm and egg combine and is responsible for transporting the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity.
The egg released from the ovary is first picked up by the fimbria of the fallopian tube and gradually transported toward the uterus. After intercourse, sperm enters the fallopian tube via the cervix and uterine cavity. The sperm and egg meet in the ampulla of the fallopian tube, where fertilization occurs.
Therefore, when we talk about pregnancy, the initial fertilization process actually takes place outside the uterus. Then, while the fertilized egg continues to divide, the fallopian tube continues to transport it.
It passes through the isthmus and interstitial part of the fallopian tube, then through the cornu of the uterus, reaches the uterine cavity, and finally settles in the uterine cavity, completing implantation, and then gradually develops into a fetus in the uterine cavity.
So, during the transportation of the fertilized egg, if it stops halfway, such as in the fallopian tube, ovary, abdominal cavity, broad ligament, cervix, etc.
This is an ectopic pregnancy.
The main risk of ectopic pregnancy is the risk of rupture and bleeding.
Because after the embryo is implanted, it needs to obtain nutrients to continue growing, just like a tree taking root. The embryo took root in a place where it shouldn't.
Compared with the uterine cavity, these areas are barren and have thin walls, which can easily rupture and cause intra-abdominal bleeding. In severe cases, they can cause shock or even death.
Even decades later, the death rate from this disease is still quite high due to heavy bleeding and lack of timely rescue. This is definitely not a joke.
In a smaller hospital, a severe hemorrhage due to an ectopic pregnancy may require the entire hospital to rescue the patient.
Back in the countryside in 1980, if a woman occasionally felt abdominal pain or bleeding from her lower body, many people probably would not take it seriously, thinking it was just an ordinary gynecological disease and would just stay at home to deal with it.
Or some people simply don't have any symptoms from the beginning, and then suddenly one day, the tube breaks and they bleed heavily.
In later generations, there were 120 ambulances that would come running to pick people up. If all else failed, every household had a private car, so they could get to the hospital quickly.
When an ectopic pregnancy ruptures and causes heavy bleeding, time is life. The earlier the rescue and treatment, the more hope there is for survival.
What did the rural areas have in 1982? Most of the rural areas didn’t even have a tractor, let alone a car.
In Jiangnan water towns like Yuezhou, travel mainly relies on boats.
A pregnant woman who was bleeding heavily due to an ectopic pregnancy was slowly taken to the hospital by boat. The whole journey back and forth was basically over.
Chen Yulan was also lucky. Although she was destined to suffer this disaster, she happened to meet a noble man, Chen Xia, who also happened to have a car. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
By then, no matter how skilled Chen Xia's medical skills are, they will be useless. Even if the immortal came, he would only be able to say 88.
Chen Xia drove the car over and asked Chen Shengrong to gently carry Yulan into the car.
Before leaving, Chen Xia warned, "Qiaogu, this is too serious to be kept secret. Quickly notify your grandfather, as well as Shengrong and Yulan's parents, and have them rush to the hospital as quickly as possible. Don't alarm anyone else for now."
Chen Qiaogu panted, "Okay, I understand."
Under Chen Qiaogu's anxious urging, Chen Xia flew out of the pharmaceutical factory and headed for the hospital at the fastest speed.
Chen Qiaogu gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and ran to the village.
It usually takes half an hour to drive here, but Chen Xia only took more than ten minutes to get to the Fourth Hospital.
As soon as the car stopped, Chen Xia was the first to rush into the emergency room and shouted to the people inside:
"Hurry, there's a uterine pregnancy, and it's already showing signs of rupture and bleeding. Organize emergency treatment immediately."
The young doctors and nurses in the emergency department immediately became busy. At this time, Chen Shengrong had just walked into the emergency room holding Yulan, and everyone hurriedly took her over and put her on the bed.
The young doctor, Mo Yongfang, happened to be on duty and quickly asked, "Mr. Chen, what is the patient's name and condition?"
"Oh, just register your name: Zhang San, female, 18 years old. I'll pay for all the medical expenses. By the way, have Ji Xiaofei prepare the operating room immediately. I need to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department now."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
Chen Xia continued to direct, "Wan Lu, go ask Director Wang Yan from the Ultrasound Department to come in immediately for a bedside ultrasound. Tell her that it's highly suspected to be an ectopic pregnancy. I'll personally ask Director Zeng Hong from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department."
Wan Lu nodded: "Okay, I understand, go ahead."
When Chen Xia ran to the obstetrics and gynecology ward on the second floor, Director Zeng had just finished his ward rounds and was about to go into the delivery room to deliver the baby.
As the largest and most technologically advanced hospital in Yuezhou, the Fourth Hospital has the busiest department in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, because those who can afford it hope to give birth in the Fourth Hospital because it is safe and secure.
Of course, these families are generally working-class families.
In rural areas, there were still a large number of midwives at that time, and most births were at home. Those with a little means would go to the commune health center to give birth.
Of course, if you encounter a difficult delivery or heavy bleeding resulting in two deaths, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
Zeng Hongke is already in her 50s. Her thick eyebrows reveal her personality. She is impetuous and decisive.
The old lady also came from a military hospital. Needless to say, her technical level is very impressive. This is why Chen Xia deliberately came to find her.
"Hey, Aunt Zeng, are you there? Hurry, hurry, we have an emergency room with an ectopic pregnancy. It's already ruptured and bleeding, and the situation is critical."
After saying that, he dragged the old lady out without thinking.
The old lady suddenly became unhappy!
