Patient's question:
Doctor, is there a great relationship between the endometrium and ectopic pregnancy? Then how much of the endometrium can rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy recurring?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial thinning may potentially affect the implantation of the fertilized egg and could lead to ectopic pregnancy. However, it is not possible to diagnose an intrauterine pregnancy based solely on the thickness of the endometrium. In some cases of ectopic pregnancy, the endometrium may also appear relatively thick. The primary method is to conduct a detailed ultrasound examination. If an intrauterine pregnancy is diagnosed, it generally allows for the exclusion of ectopic pregnancy. However, sometimes during the ultrasound, it may not be visible on the first attempt, and a follow-up examination may be necessary. If abdominal pain occurs after pregnancy, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.
