Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, I don't know if I'm pregnant or not. My period hasn't come for a while, and the bleeding has started to be irregular. The blood is also very dark, and my lower abdomen always feels painful. Is this an ectopic pregnancy? If so, please ask: What should I do if I have an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy is generally secondary to chronic tubal disease. In the early stages of pregnancy, it typically manifests as pain on one side of the lower abdomen and vaginal bleeding. Based on your situation, if you don't have a history of ectopic pregnancy or chronic gynecological inflammation, the likelihood of ectopic pregnancy is relatively low. The abdominal discomfort after pregnancy may be caused by Qi stagnation. After a few days, an ultrasound can be done to check the gestational sac, which will provide a clear result.
