Patient's question:
I've had my period delayed by 10 days this time. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. Over the past two days, I've been experiencing severe abdominal pain, which is similar to the menstrual cramps I usually get during my period. I want to ask if my condition could be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
A pregnancy test confirmed by a 40-day amenorrhea urinalysis, accompanied by abdominal pain. There is a high suspicion of ectopic pregnancy, and it is recommended to visit the gynecology clinic of the nearest hospital as soon as possible for a gynecological ultrasound examination. Once ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, immediate hospitalization, close observation, or surgical treatment may be necessary. If ectopic pregnancy is ruled out, occasional abdominal pain thats after rest without vaginal bleeding may be due to uterine growth and ligament traction, in which case there is no need to be overly anxious. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care and are advised to maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently.
