Patient's question:
The doctor said it might be an ectopic pregnancy. Now I'm about 40 days pregnant and occasionally feel sharp pain in my abdomen. I don't know if it's pregnancy, as the test didn't show anything, but I have experienced a missed period and some pregnancy symptoms. Could this be an ectopic pregnancy? If so, how can it be determined?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the careful examination results, this person's human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level is relatively low, and it cannot be ruled out as ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to re-examine the next day. If the increase is slow, it is mainly a sign of ectopic pregnancy. Pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and cooperate with the doctor for treatment. In the early stages, conservative treatment can be considered. It is best to re-examine the next day. Under normal circumstances, hCG levels double. A slower doubling rate may indicate ectopic pregnancy.For patients with ectopic pregnancy, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay more attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during medication, and finally remind female patients to re-examine regularly!
