Patient's question:
The menstrual period will be delayed by 3-6 days, with the longest duration not being less than 7 days. Could it be that I'm pregnant but it's still less than 40 days, so the ultrasound can't detect it? The doctor suggested I have another ultrasound in a week to check.

Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy can cause rupture. Your current condition is likely that the time hasn't reached 40 days yet, so the gestational sac is not visible.Suggestions: In fact, confirming ectopic pregnancy doesn't necessarily require an ultrasound—blood tests can also diagnose it.

In addition to treating ectopic pregnancy, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and speed up recovery.
