Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, has been trying to conceive for a long time. When her period stopped, she discovered she was pregnant through a pregnancy test. She also experienced nausea and vomiting. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, the test results were abnormal. An ultrasound revealed an ectopic pregnancy. She felt really devastated. She is asking: What should she do if she has right lower abdominal pain after minimally invasive surgery for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
When women experience lower abdominal pain, excluding cyclical menstrual pain and gastrointestinal dysfunction, it is necessary to consider whether it is a gynecological issue, such as: endometriosis, ruptured ovarian cyst, ovarian or ovarian cyst inversion, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, ovarian tumors, ectopic pregnancy, abdominal or pelvic adhesions, etc. To prevent missing the golden window for treatment, women with lower abdominal pain of unclear cause should seek medical attention and undergo diagnosis as soon as possible.
