What is the difference between the shape and ellipse of eggplant gestational sac

The shape of the gestational sac, which is usually eggplant shaped or elliptical, is usually related to the stage of embryonic development and the spatial structure of the uterus. Both shapes may be normal manifestations, but eggplant shaped gestational sacs should be cautious of abnormal pregnancies such as molar pregnancy. The oval shape of the gestational sac is commonly observed in early pregnancy ultrasound examination, which is often related to the morphology of the uterus and the location of embryo implantation. The elliptical gestational sac has clear and regular boundaries, uniform wall thickness, and visible yolk sac or embryo structure inside. This morphology usually indicates a stable embryonic development environment. As pregnancy progresses, the gestational sac may gradually become round or oval due to uterine pressure or embryonic activity, which belongs to the category of physiological changes. If the gestational sac is elliptical and accompanied by regular fetal heartbeat, the clinical significance is more positive. The eggplant shaped gestational sac appears as a long strip or irregular shape, which may reflect structural abnormalities such as mediastinum in the uterus or be related to the lateral position of embryo implantation. In some cases, this morphology suggests that the gestational sac is being compressed, and a comprehensive judgment should be made based on ultrasound features such as raised chorion and uneven thickness of the sac wall. If the eggplant shaped gestational sac is accompanied by abnormally elevated HCG and honeycomb like echoes inside, pathological pregnancy such as molar pregnancy should be considered. It is recommended to have ultrasound examinations every 1-2 weeks to observe morphological changes and monitor the HCG level growth curve. The evaluation of gestational sac morphology should be comprehensively judged based on gestational age, hormone levels, and clinical symptoms, and relying solely on shape differences cannot be used as a diagnostic basis. It is recommended that pregnant women maintain regular prenatal check ups, avoid vigorous exercise or prolonged standing, and wear loose clothing to reduce abdominal pressure. If abnormal symptoms such as vaginal bleeding and severe abdominal pain occur, medical attention should be sought immediately, and pathological factors should be ruled out through ultrasound re examination and laboratory testing. Daily attention to supplementing folic acid and high-quality protein, maintaining a balanced diet, can help promote healthy embryo development.
