Should you check for ectopic pregnancy at 38-40 days of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Between 38-40 days of pregnancy, I need to check for ectopic pregnancy and had two consecutive ultrasounds. Will this interfere with the embryo's growth and development? Can I still have an ultrasound to check the fetal heartbeat and bud later?

Doctor's answer:

You can have another ultrasound to check the fetal heartbeat and fetal bud. If there are no discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to have a detailed ultrasound check two months after conception. During the early stages of pregnancy, please pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and strictly prohibit sexual activity. Take folic acid and maintain a light diet. Wishing you good health. Ectopic pregnancy patients can use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment while receiving professional medical care. In daily diet, it is necessary to have a proper diet.
