Patient's question:
I had an IUD implanted three years ago, and my menstrual cycle has always been very regular. However, this month, my period was delayed by a week, and I've been feeling nauseous and vomiting. After a check-up, it was confirmed that I have an ectopic pregnancy. How could this happen? Please advise: What should I do if I have an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy is also known as "ectopic pregnancy." Under normal circumstances, after a woman becomes pregnant, the embryo will be implanted in the uterine cavity, which is called intrauterine pregnancy. If it is implanted outside the uterine cavity at some point, it is called ectopic pregnancy. The main treatment for ectopic pregnancy is surgery. However, before rupture, when the embryo has not yet fully developed, conservative treatment can be used, such as intramuscular injection of medication, to terminate early pregnancy. It is best to go to the hospital promptly to address the problem appropriately. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
