Patient's question:
My period has been 9 days late, and I had a sexual relationship again, so I'm very sad and worried about being pregnant. But I took an early pregnancy test, and it was negative. According to what I read online, ectopic pregnancy seems very similar to my situation. First, my period didn't come. Second, I have a slight ache and warmth on the right side. Third, my vaginal discharge has some streaks of blood. Fourth, I feel the need to urinate, but after just going, I feel the need again. Of course, the fourth symptom was previously checked and said to be due to gastrointestinal issues, but ectopic pregnancy also has this symptom. Fifth, my abdomen often feels a dull ache when my vaginal discharge has blood. Other: I'm really very sad. Please, experts, help me understand what's wrong with me:( I'm too afraid to go to the hospital, I'm so scared~Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the symptoms you described, ectopic pregnancy is usually characterized by a history of missed periods and a positive pregnancy test. If the pregnancy test is not positive, ectopic pregnancy can be absolutely ruled out. I suggest taking a urine pregnancy test today. If it is negative, then your symptoms may be early signs of menstruation, so there is no need to worry too much about ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to cleanliness. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery.
