Patient's question:
I last had my period in mid-August, and it's now early October, but I haven't had my period yet. Then I started wondering if I might be pregnant. When I had a thorough medical check-up before, the doctor told me that my left fallopian tube was blocked. Then I'd like to ask a few questions: if I am pregnant, could it be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Everyone has a risk of ectopic pregnancy during pregnancy. Currently, you had your period in August, but you haven't had your period from October to now. So, the first thing you need to do is to take a urine pregnancy test. If it has been confirmed, then you can have a pelvic ultrasound to check the location where the embryo is implanted. Since there is no abdominal pain or bleeding at the moment, the possibility of an intrauterine pregnancy is relatively high.When patients face the problem of ectopic pregnancy, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and not avoid seeking medical attention. If ectopic pregnancy is not treated effectively, it is important to promptly change the treatment plan.
