Patient's question:
My period was delayed by more than ten days this month, and I thought it might be pregnancy. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. Calculating the dates, it might already be over 40 days. But suddenly, there was bleeding today. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? How can I tell if it's ectopic pregnancy at 40 weeks?Doctor's answer:
More than forty days pregnant, suddenly broken skin in the lower body, the possibility of threatened miscarriage is relatively high, but the possibility of ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out. Around forty days of pregnancy, a detailed ultrasound examination can verify whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you do not panic and go to a nearby regular hospital for an ultrasound examination with a full bladder to determine the cause. After identifying the reason, follow the doctor's guidance to receive treatment for preserving the pregnancy. Rest in bed and avoid overexertion. For severe cases of ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive treatment based on the doctor's advice. Do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above advice is for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
