Patient's question:
I am 5 months pregnant, but sometimes I often feel stomach pain, especially on the two ovaries on the right side, which is particularly severe cramping. I looked up some information and found that if it's an ectopic pregnancy, this kind of ovarian pain may reappear. So I want to ask if it could be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Frequent abdominal pain does not necessarily indicate a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy cannot allow a child to grow to five months, because around two months, its size is already quite large, and by three months, it tends to rupture. Therefore, ectopic pregnancy that develops to five months is generally not possible. The current condition can be examined through imaging studies, such as ultrasound, to determine whether there is a placenta inside the uterus, in which case ectopic pregnancy is ruled out. There are several treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy, but since the patient's condition varies, the chosen treatment approach differs accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon experiencing symptoms.
