Patient's question:
My period hasn't come for over a month, and I've been suspecting I might be pregnant. But to my surprise, today's thorough examination revealed an ectopic pregnancy. Last time, a detailed check-up showed issues with the uterus and rectum—something like a dark spot. Now, in my current situation, how should I be treated? It seems the child will definitely have to be miscarried.Doctor's answer:
Most pelvic effusion is caused by inflammation, specifically chronic pelvic inflammatory effusion, while a very small number are caused by ectopic pregnancy rupture, corpus luteum rupture, pelvic abscess, chocolate cysts, or ovarian cancer. Pelvic effusion may present symptoms such as frequent urination, increasing secretions, and lower abdominal pain. Further consideration through medical history is necessary, followed by appropriate treatment. Ectopic pregnancy can also lead to recurrent effusion. It is recommended to use a pregnancy test to check for pregnancy and then confirm whether it is intrauterine or ectopic.
