Patient's question:
A year ago, I had an ectopic pregnancy removal, where one fallopian tube and the uterine angle were removed. Two days ago, I found out I'm pregnant again. My last menstrual period started on the 15th of last month, with a cycle of 6-7 days. Today, I had an ultrasound, but it was inconclusive, and they told me to come back in a few days. Is there a possibility of another ectopic pregnancy in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Your pregnancy test result being positive can confirm pregnancy. The absence of a gestational sac in the uterine cavity detected by ultrasound, combined with a short delivery time, may be related to the unfertilized egg not implanting. You can now have a blood test to check progesterone and HCG levels. It is best to wait until 40 days after your last menstrual period for a thorough ultrasound examination to closely observe whether a gestational sac is present in the uterine cavity. In addition to immediate medical treatment, patients with ectopic pregnancy should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep will help you recover from this condition more quickly.
