What should I do if I am afraid of ectopic pregnancy and my period lasts more than 5 days?

Patient's question:

Female, 30 years old, really very sad, waited so long to get pregnant, but after getting pregnant, there has been irregular bleeding, and suddenly had stomach and leg pain, even fainted. Hospital examination revealed an ectopic pregnancy, and it had ruptured, almost endangering her life. Thinking about it is still frightening. Please ask: What should I do if I am afraid of ectopic pregnancy and menstruation lasts more than 5 days?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is not pregnancy because according to your missed period, the blood HCG value should be below 1000. Although the standard for pregnancy is greater than 5, the difference is too significant for your pregnancy duration. Therefore, you should test again in two days. If the value does not increase significantly or rises, it proves that you are not pregnant. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal Grade 3-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water.
