Patient's question:
I think I might be pregnant. My period has been delayed for half a month. Also, I feel very sleepy and a bit loss of appetite. But there's some bleeding down there, and my lower abdomen also hurts a bit. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's an ectopic pregnancy. I can't believe it. Please ask: How can ectopic pregnancy be 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. However, based on the examination results, the low hCG value could also be due to a short delivery time. You can continuously monitor the hCG value to see how it normalizes. After conception, the hCG value usually doubles every other day, with a very rapid growth rate. Alternatively, you can wait until six weeks after conception and have an MRI examination at the hospital to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. The gestational period is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. 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 avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery.
