How to identify ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am two weeks pregnant, but I've been having pain in my upper right abdomen and don't know if it could be an ectopic pregnancy. Hello, how can you tell if it's an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant for 2 weeks, if there is persistent pain in the upper right abdomen, you should first go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination of the liver and biliary system and liver function tests. This area is the location of the liver and gallbladder. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, it should present as pain on one side of the lower abdomen accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding. Around 7 weeks from the last menstrual period, a gynecological ultrasound can be performed to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a disease that is difficult to recover from. Friends who are patients should always maintain an optimistic attitude.
