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, with dark-colored blood. My lower abdomen also always feels painful. Is this an ectopic pregnancy? If so, please ask: How can ectopic pregnancy be confirmed?Doctor's answer:
First, there must be a history of amenorrhea, and the diagnosis should be made in combination with specific ultrasound and blood HCG test results. If the blood HCG value is below 1500, but the gestational sac is not observed in the uterine cavity on ultrasound, it can be diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
