Patient's question:
I missed my period by almost a week, so I bought a pregnancy test and found out I'm pregnant. Recently, I've been having stomach pain, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I have an ectopic pregnancy. How is an ectopic pregnancy detected?Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:A thorough HCG check can be done. If it's positive and an abdominal ultrasound doesn't reveal an intrauterine gestational sac, it's generally necessary to consider the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. However, first, note that the gestational sac might be too small to be found. If there's no gestational sac, recheck AC or other abnormalities in 7 days. Ectopic pregnancy usually ruptures after the early pregnancy is over 40 days. If there's right lower abdominal pain, it might be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. It's also possible to go to the hospital to perform a posterior vaginal aspiration to confirm a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy is often related to many miscarriages, pelvic inflammation, especially tubal inflammation. The most common type of ectopic pregnancy is tubal pregnancy.
