Patient's question:
On the 19th day after my period, it basically stopped, and I had sex with my boyfriend. He came inside, and immediately after, I took a two-tablet emergency contraceptive pill. A few days later, I experienced withdrawal bleeding. Then on the 28th, we had sex again. At first, he only rubbed against me for a few seconds before either going in or coming out. Throughout the time, we used condoms, and there was no leakage. Yesterday afternoon, I ate a lot of indigestible foods like peanuts and plum candies. Then in the evening, I felt nauseous and vomited, with constant, intermittent cramping pain in my abdomen. Last night, I vomited once, and this morning, I vomited again. Everything I vomited was food, and I only had one bowel movement, which was watery. My stomach has been in constant pain, and I feel like vomiting. It's said that ectopic pregnancy and acute gastroenteritis can be easily confused, but I took an early pregnancy test yesterday morning, and it came back negative. Is this ectopic pregnancy or acute gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
The last menstrual period was on the 18th, there was sexual activity, but contraception measures were used. Now it has been 24 days since the last period, and menstruation has not arrived. The urine early pregnancy test was negative after a thorough check, but nausea and vomiting have occurred again, along with abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting. Based on your condition, acute gastroenteritis should be considered, while ectopic pregnancy is not likely. Generally, ectopic pregnancy results in a positive urine test. It is recommended that you treat it as acute gastroenteritis.
