Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I had my period on September 30th and it lasted for 4 days with very little flow. On October 28th, I started to notice some bleeding and it gradually became a trickle. The pads I used had dark brown or coffee-colored discharge, which lasted for about 10 days. I suspected something was wrong and went to the hospital for a blood test. The HCG level was 390, but the ultrasound showed no signs of pregnancy and no obvious masses on either side. The doctor said there was a high possibility of an ectopic pregnancy.History of Treatment and Effectiveness:
This year, in March, I had an ectopic pregnancy that required the removal of my right fallopian tube. In June, I had an X-ray, which showed everything was normal, and the doctor said it was clear and I could get pregnant.
What kind of help do you want:
I’m very upset. Could this be ectopic pregnancy again? How likely is ectopic pregnancy? As an unmarried woman who wants to have children, I’m very worried.
Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy refers to a condition where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic pregnancy usually reappears with symptoms around 6 to 7 weeks of pregnancy and is diagnosed by a doctor. However, you may also notice some signs of ectopic pregnancy as early as 4 weeks. Some people may not experience any symptoms after pregnancy but discover they have an ectopic pregnancy during the first ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy. Currently, ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out, and HCG levels are relatively high. Close monitoring is recommended. It is suggested to undergo a period of Chinese medicine regulation. In fact, having an ectopic pregnancy is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treatment is administered accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
