Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, and I am currently in the pre-pregnancy phase. Ah, last month after having sex with my husband, it has been more than a month now, and my period is delayed by half a month. However, using a pregnancy test, it did not show pregnancy. I feel it's not normal. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current situation, if there has been a recurrence of delayed menstruation, the first consideration should still be the possibility of pregnancy. If the current pregnancy test indicates a negative result, it can basically rule out pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy. Under normal circumstances, ectopic pregnancy would also cause a positive pregnancy test. Therefore, a blood HCG test is more sensitive and accurate than a urine test. In fact, it's not something to be afraid of if you have ectopic pregnancy. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
