Patient's question:
I found out I have an ectopic pregnancy, and it has been bleeding for sixteen days. The doctor advised me to undergo conservative treatment, but I am a bit worried about it potentially affecting my health. I'm considering whether to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, but I'm also hesitant. I think I should consult an expert about what I should do.Doctor's answer:
If the ectopic pregnancy recurs in the fimbriae of the fallopian tube, and careful observation shows that the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has started to gradually rise, then there may be a possibility of a tubal pregnancy miscarriage. In this case, conservative treatment can be considered, but it requires irregular monitoring of hCG levels and irregular monitoring of gynecological magnetic resonance imaging to carefully observe whether there is significant growth of the mass. During the observation period, if there is severe abdominal pain, palpitations, or a sense of urgency and incomplete defecation in the stool, emergency admission to the emergency department is necessary. For severe cases of ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and to follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily.
