Patient's question:
I tested positive for pregnancy myself after my period was more than five days late. When I came to the hospital, I couldn't have an ultrasound or a blood test for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 335.74, and progesterone 20.6 is normal. I'm worried about an ectopic pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, your test results indicate that you are pregnant. However, if an ultrasound examination is performed too early, there will be no gestational sac in the uterine cavity, and an abortion cannot be performed. It is recommended that you wait for another 7-10 days before undergoing a detailed ultrasound examination to see if the gestational sac is of an appropriate size for an abortion procedure. This will help rule out ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition, and it is advised that patients seek timely medical treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
