Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we haven't had any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen. Please, is it necessary to go to the hospital for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
It's not that easy to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy. Based on your online description, it cannot be concluded. You need to monitor and retest blood hCG levels, usually retesting every other day, carefully observing the changes in the numbers, while also considering your symptoms and later undergoing a color Doppler ultrasound retest. If necessary, a posterior fornix puncture may be used. Only by comprehensively analyzing these factors can the diagnosis be confirmed. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients need to pay attention to post-menstrual retesting in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive proper treatment.
