Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, I have had an IUD for three years, and my menstrual cycle has always been very regular. However, this month, my period was delayed by a week, and I have been feeling nauseous and vomiting. After a check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy. How could this happen? Please ask: Am I experiencing a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy? How can it be determined?Doctor's answer:
It might be pregnancy, but it cannot be confirmed whether it is ectopic pregnancy at the moment. It is recommended to pay close attention and wait for a week, then go to a regular hospital for an ultrasound to clarify whether it is intrauterine pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a regular, top-tier hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible based on their own condition to receive symptomatic 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 daily.
