Patient's question:
A year ago, I was pregnant, and at that time, my stomach always hurt. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy, and unfortunately, I had to have surgery. Now, I have finally become pregnant again, and at first, it was fine, but in the past two days, the abdominal pain has started to appear again. Hello, will it definitely be ectopic pregnancy again?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence probability of ectopic pregnancy is relatively high. Recurrent ectopic pregnancy is often caused by tubal obstruction and inflammation, which leads to impaired implantation of the fertilized egg. If symptoms such as abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding reappear during this pregnancy, it is necessary to seek immediate medical attention at the gynecology clinic for a follow-up examination. This includes a gynecological ultrasound, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and progesterone tests, to confirm the diagnosis based on the examination results. Sometimes, in the early stages of pregnancy, a single examination may not provide a clear diagnosis, and repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be required.
