Patient's question:
After getting pregnant, I've always had lower abdominal pain, but there were no signs of miscarriage. Last night, the lower abdominal pain was unbearable, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results are still pending. How can I have an ectopic pregnancy? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you solve your question. After diagnosing early pregnancy, it is generally necessary to have an MRI examination after 35 days to diagnose the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Between 35 and 40 days, an MRI examination should be able to detect the gestational sac and fetal heartbeat within the uterine cavity. If it cannot be found, it is recommended to check again in 5 to 7 days. If it is repeatedly not found, it is important to be cautious of ectopic pregnancy. If a gestational sac has already been detected within the uterine cavity, ectopic pregnancy should not be considered even if abdominal pain occurs again.
