Patient's question:
I had an IUD inserted five years ago, and my menstrual cycle has always been very regular. However, this month, my period was delayed by a week, and I've been feeling nauseous and vomiting. After a check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy. How could this happen? Please advise: What should be done if an ectopic pregnancy is detected?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy is also known as "ectopic pregnancy." Under normal circumstances, after a woman becomes pregnant, the embryo will be implanted in the uterine cavity, which is called intrauterine pregnancy. If it is implanted outside the uterine cavity at some point, it is called ectopic pregnancy. The main treatment for ectopic pregnancy is surgical therapy. However, before rupture, when the embryo has not yet fully developed, conservative treatment can be used, such as intramuscular injection of medication, to terminate early pregnancy. It is better to go to the hospital promptly to address the problem appropriately. 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 nursing. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment, pay attention to hygiene, and at the same time, wish female patients a speedy recovery.
