Patient's question:
I have appendicitis and accidentally got pregnant. My last menstrual period was on January 20th. On February 20th, I took a blood test and the hCG level was so low, I'm really worried it might be an ectopic pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
The current careful examination result should be that you just conceived, so at the initial stage, the current hCG situation is not a major concern for now. In such cases, it may be appropriate to wait a bit longer. Generally, at the initial stage, hCG may show a pattern of doubling every other day, so it would be a good idea to retest after a one-day interval.In addition, during the treatment for adnexitis, in addition to taking medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet while always keeping a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from adnexitis.
