Patient's question:
With a history of ectopic pregnancy, I had sexual intercourse twice during that period. Once without using any contraception, and once just after my period when I took an emergency contraceptive pill. After that, my period had some spotting, was lighter in flow, darker in color, and less in volume compared to previous periods. After it ended, I've been experiencing abdominal pain, lower back pain, a sensation of heaviness in my buttocks, nausea, and poor appetite. Yesterday, I had a thorough check-up and found that the endometrial thickness was 13mm. The doctor told me that my period would come again, and I also received progesterone anesthesia. After the injection, my abdomen was particularly painful at night.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation, it is speculated that the pain is caused by uterine contractions, indicating that menstruation is approaching. It is recommended to rest, avoid overexertion and getting cold, refrain from spicy and cold foods, and stop taking progesterone. Menstruation will arrive in 3-5 days. For the patient, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, the patient should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers provided above will be helpful.
