Patient's question:
Female, 32 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: What should I do if the HCG blood value for ectopic pregnancy is 12.6?Doctor's answer:
The re-examined blood values have dropped to 12.6, indicating that the embryo's activity is very low. It should not cause the lump to break, so it is recommended to focus on re-examination. It is suggested to draw blood for hCG testing in 5-7 days until it drops to normal levels.Pay attention to avoid overexertion and avoid pressing the abdomen to prevent changes in the lump. Different causes may lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations in a reputable Grade 3-A hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment.
Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
