Patient's question:
Recently I haven't had my period, and I think I might be pregnant. I asked my husband to accompany me for a thorough check-up, and it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. Is ectopic pregnancy also considered pregnancy? What's the difference between it and normal pregnancy? How big is the gestational sac usually when it ruptures in ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this friend. Ectopic pregnancy usually ruptures around the 40th day of pregnancy. If there is a dull pain in the right lower abdomen and bleeding, it could be a sign of ectopic pregnancy. You can also go to the hospital for a posterior fornix puncture to confirm the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. I hope my explanation brings you some relief. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients need to pay attention to follow-up checks after menstruation in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, I hope female patients can receive proper treatment.
