Patient's question:
When my boyfriend and I had ML, we used condoms the entire time, but my period hasn't come for over three months. A few days ago, I took a pregnancy test and tested twice in a row, and both showed only two red lines. There's no abdominal pain or nausea. Could I have an ectopic pregnancy? Can an ectopic pregnancy be detected with a pregnancy test? What kind of help do I need: How much will it cost to get checked at the hospital? If I need surgery, how much will that cost?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, pregnancy test strips are generally used to test how pregnancy occurs, so they can confirm pregnancy, but they cannot determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy. Of course, ectopic pregnancy is still considered pregnancy. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound. Generally, ectopic pregnancy can be detected around 45 days of pregnancy. Regarding the specific surgery, it varies by location. After diagnosis, further treatment can be considered. For induced abortion, patients should avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on recovery from ectopic pregnancy.
