Patient's question:
I have had an IUD inserted, and my periods have 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? Could you please tell me approximately how much the cost of ectopic pregnancy testing would be?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the characteristics of ectopic pregnancy:1. Missed period: Most patients experience a missed period of 6-8 weeks, but some may not have a clear missed period, or they may mistake vaginal bleeding for a normal menstrual cycle.
2. Abdominal pain: Caused by the rupture of the fallopian tube, it is often a sharp pain on one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and a sense of rectal fullness. If the rupture is severe, the pain can be unbearable.
3. Vaginal bleeding: Irregular vaginal bleeding is common, with dark brown color and a small amount, generally not exceeding the volume of a normal menstrual cycle, and always feels incomplete.
The cost of ectopic pregnancy examination varies depending on individual conditions and causes. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal and professional fertility hospital for targeted care.
