Patient's question:
I was very happy when I first realized I was pregnant because I always wanted a child, and I finally got pregnant. However, now that it has been over a month, I always feel stomach pain and don't have any other symptoms, so I'm quite worried about whether it could be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, abdominal pain may not necessarily indicate an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy usually recurs with severe abdominal pain after conception and is accompanied by heavy vaginal bleeding. An abdominal color ultrasound examination should be performed carefully between weeks 6 and 8 of pregnancy, and no gestational sac should be visible inside the uterus. After pregnancy, mild abdominal pain and symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may occur again, which are all normal and related to hormonal changes in the body. Regular prenatal check-ups and adequate rest are recommended, avoiding overexertion and strenuous exercise. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur, and during medication, women should pay close attention to their own care, especially in terms of nursing.
