Patient's question:
I am 55 days pregnant and have no symptoms of abdominal pain. However, I had some vaginal bleeding around day 38. The doctor prescribed progesterone, which I took for about 8 days, and the bleeding stopped. A few weeks ago, I had an ultrasound that showed a 1.5 cm endometrium and no abnormalities in the adnexa. The uterus had a uniform echo. At 50 days, I had another transvaginal ultrasound, and it was still good. My periods are often delayed by more than ten days, and I'm very worried. If it were an ectopic pregnancy, shouldn't it have been detectable much earlier?Doctor's answer:
First, let's prove a point: after pregnancy, it is strictly forbidden to undergo transvaginal ultrasound to prevent miscarriage.Medical advice suggests following the doctor's recommendations for regular ultrasound examinations. At around 50 days of pregnancy, the location of the gestational sac should be visible. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, it will be detected.
Ectopic pregnancy poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Increase your intake of vegetables and fruits while avoiding foods. We hope that ectopic pregnancy patients can receive professional treatment.
