Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, not sure if she is pregnant. The test strips didn't show a positive result, but she has missed her period and also has some pregnancy symptoms. Could this be an ectopic pregnancy? If so, please ask: What are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Actually, around the 2nd month of pregnancy, an ultrasound can predict whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. An ultrasound can see if the gestational sac is inside the uterus or elsewhere, so after confirming pregnancy, having an ultrasound can detect ectopic pregnancy symptoms. The clinical manifestations of tubal pregnancy are related to the implantation site of the fertilized egg, whether there has been a miscarriage or rupture, and the amount and duration of bleeding. Typical symptoms include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding.
