Patient's question:
I'm pregnant. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said my progesterone level is too low, which could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. I'm very worried and scared. I really want this baby. I haven't experienced abdominal pain or bleeding, and I want to know if it's possible to rule out ectopic pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
If the progesterone level is low, it may lead to conditions such as threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. If pregnant, the progesterone level can be appropriately improved. If not pregnant, further detailed examination is necessary. Of course, doing a color Doppler ultrasound can also help rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. In this case, it is suggested that you start with progesterone medication and then return for a follow-up test after a period of time.
