Does the ultrasound showing no gestational sac in the uterus indicate an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Female, 32 years old, married to her husband for many years and has always wanted a child of her own. Three months ago, she underwent a fallopian tube hydrotubation surgery, and this month she finally got pregnant. However, after the examination, it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. She feels extremely frustrated. She asks: Is it ectopic pregnancy if there is no gestational sac shown in the ultrasound inside the uterus?

Doctor's answer:

It is difficult to make accurate predictions, as the gestational sac can only be seen through ultrasound around the 35th day of pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo other tests for diagnosis and to treat accordingly based on the doctor's knowledge. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade A hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the room well-ventilated, and consume light, soft, and liquid foods daily while drinking plenty of warm water.
