Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, but so far, we don't have 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. How is ectopic pregnancy best treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the blood hCG test indicates pregnancy, but the doubling is not ideal. There is no gestational sac visible in the color Doppler ultrasound. In this situation, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, as it could also be a blighted ovum. A follow-up blood hCG test should be conducted the next day, while also considering clinical symptoms and a thorough examination with color Doppler ultrasound for comprehensive analysis. Treatment should be guided by offline medical advice. For ectopic pregnancy patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is crucial to remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up tests!
