Patient's question:
I have been with my boyfriend for a long time and have lived together several times. We didn't take proper precautions, but thankfully, I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I'm too scared to get a thorough check-up. I want to know if I might have an ectopic pregnancy. Doctor, I'm very worried. I want to know how long it takes to detect ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if ectopic pregnancy occurs again, it still needs to be dynamically monitored. Under normal circumstances, there may be a history of missed periods accompanied by lower abdominal pain. The careful examination of the urine pregnancy test is positive. The MRI examination can clearly confirm that there is no recurrence of a gestational sac in the uterine cavity. In the adnexal region, a clear mass can be seen. This can confirm the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. Specifically, it can usually be detected around 40 days after the missed period.
