I want to know how to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy

Patient's question:

Can you help me check if it could be an ectopic pregnancy? I'm very scared. I used a pregnancy test and it showed positive. Today, the ultrasound didn't find any gestational sac. I had an ectopic pregnancy two years ago, and I'm very scared about what to do. My last period started on the 22nd of last month, and it usually lasts about a week. Can you help me take a look?

Doctor's answer:

According to the patient's test results, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that the patient undergo a vaginal ultrasound and an hCG test. This can assist the doctor in making a diagnosis. Additionally, it is advised that the female patient be hospitalized for close observation. The daily treatment for ectopic pregnancy patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. The patient can take various oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to maintaining a regular daily routine, while avoiding alcohol.
