Patient's question:
I'm really very sad. I've been waiting for so long to get pregnant, but after getting pregnant, I've been experiencing irregular bleeding. Suddenly, I had severe abdominal and leg pain and even fainted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy, and it had ruptured, almost endangering my life. Thinking about it makes me feel terrified. Please ask: Is the ectopic pregnancy I recently discovered serious? How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
For women of childbearing age with normal sexual activity, if they experience amenorrhea for 6-10 weeks, a positive urine pregnancy test, and symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, ectopic pregnancy should be highly suspected. If a careful vaginal ultrasound examination does not reveal a gestational sac in the uterine cavity, ectopic pregnancy can be diagnosed in most cases. The possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out by testing the level of blood HCG. If the HCG value doubles every other day, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be largely ruled out. However, if the value does not decrease significantly or even decreases instead of increasing, the likelihood of ectopic pregnancy remains. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care!
