Patient's question:
I'm really very sad. I've been waiting so long to get pregnant, but after getting pregnant, I've been having irregular bleeding. Moreover, I suddenly felt abdominal and leg pain and even fainted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy, and it had ruptured, almost endangering my life. Thinking about it makes me feel scared. Please ask: How is ectopic pregnancy treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is unlikely. Generally, ectopic pregnancy progesterone levels are low, usually below 20, making the possibility of ectopic pregnancy relatively small.Guidance and suggestions:
However, based on the examination results, the low hCG value may also be due to a short pregnancy duration. You can continuously monitor the hCG value to see how it normalizes. After conception, the hCG value typically doubles every other day, with a very rapid growth rate.
Alternatively, you can wait until six weeks into the pregnancy and have an MRI examination at the hospital to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. The pregnancy duration is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period.
Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological condition that can easily occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of personal hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during the treatment period.
