Patient's question:
Doctor, I had my period on the 20th of last month, and on the 30th, I had sex with my husband. However, I haven't had my period by the 25th of this month. Additionally, I have some lower abdominal discomfort. How can I get pregnant, and could it be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a delay or advancement of the menstrual cycle within a week is generally considered normal. First and foremost, abdominal pain should be ruled out for pelvic inflammation and urinary tract infection issues. Since your intercourse occurred during the ovulation period, ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out. You can visit the hospital for a urinalysis and blood HCG test, gynecological color Doppler ultrasound, and leukorrhea routine test. If it's inconvenient, you can buy a test kit to check for pregnancy first, and then go to the hospital for further detailed examination.
