What tests should be done for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

On November 18th, I had my period, and we had sex on December 1st. I originally wanted to get pregnant this time. But on December 7th, in the afternoon, I had my period and experienced severe abdominal pain until the evening, and the flow was heavier than usual. Previously, my period always came around the 22nd, and it had never been this painful before. What could be happening?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your situation involves issues with menstruation after sexual activity. In fact, having these symptoms does not necessarily confirm an ectopic pregnancy. It may also be possible to have menstrual cramps.
It is recommended that you carefully observe the situation. If you are concerned, you can also follow up for an ultrasound examination to check for any gynecological conditions. Only then can better treatment be provided. Even if you are truly pregnant, it does not necessarily mean an ectopic pregnancy rupture.
During the treatment for ectopic pregnancy, in addition to timely medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet while always keeping a cheerful and optimistic mindset.
