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? Please advise: What is the best way to treat ectopic pregnancy once it is detected?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the current hCG test indicates pregnancy, but the doubling is not ideal. There was no gestational sac seen on the color Doppler ultrasound. In this situation, ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out, and it is also possible that the ultrasound is not sensitive enough. It is necessary to recheck the blood hCG level the next day, while also combining clinical diagnostic symptoms and a thorough color Doppler ultrasound examination. 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 pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish the female patient a speedy recovery!
