Patient's question:
I have had an IUD, and my periods have always been very regular. But this month, my period was delayed by a week, and I've been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. After a check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy. How could this happen? Please ask: What are the possible side effects of treating ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, ectopic pregnancy usually causes severe abdominal pain again around the 40th day of pregnancy. It is also accompanied by delayed menstrual cycles and vaginal bleeding. First, it is necessary to rule out pregnancy. If it is a normal menstrual period, there may be mild abdominal discomfort, which is normal. For ectopic pregnancy patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
