Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for a month, but I've been experiencing severe abdominal pain recently. This symptom is a bit like ectopic pregnancy. What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
For the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, there may be a recurrence of pain on one side of the abdomen or a recurrence of vaginal bleeding. Given your recent severe abdominal pain, it is necessary to seek medical attention at a local hospital promptly for a thorough examination. Blood tests for hCG and progesterone can be conducted to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If the examination results are normal, symptomatic treatment can be administered. You can wait until five weeks of pregnancy to have an ultrasound examination at the hospital to further rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
