How to determine if it is ectopic pregnancy or menstruation

Patient's question:

I have taken emergency contraception. There was excessive withdrawal bleeding for 6 days. After it ended, 20 days later, my first period lasted for 5 days. Then, 23 days later, I had another period. After the withdrawal bleeding, I had two more periods—could this be an ectopic pregnancy rupture?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if it's an ectopic pregnancy, the urine early pregnancy test should be positive. Based on your description, it is recommended that you take a few urine early pregnancy tests or have a blood hCG test to see how you got pregnant, which should help confirm whether it's an ectopic pregnancy rupture. In addition to treating the ectopic pregnancy, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
