Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 33 years old this year, and I have had one ectopic pregnancy. This time I am pregnant, but I don't know if it is ectopic. At 30 days, I had a blood test at the hospital and found out I was pregnant. Progesterone was 10.67, Hcg was 21.6. Now it has been 37 days, and I often feel a dull pain in my abdomen, not severe, and I have experienced spotting three times, with very light color. Hello, am I having an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy cannot be solely based on symptoms; it is crucial to rely on physical signs and thorough examinations. If a patient has a history of ectopic pregnancy, the risk of recurrence is relatively higher. It is necessary to undergo systematic examinations at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis. The daily treatment for ectopic pregnancy patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
