Patient's question:
I'm pregnant for a month and when I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was also worried about an ectopic pregnancy. A few days ago, one of my close friends was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. She said that at the time, her body didn't have any symptoms, her stomach didn't hurt, and she didn't know if it was an ectopic pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
You need to get timely treatment if you are diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, as delaying treatment can be life-threatening. Ectopic pregnancy is detected because the embryo is developing in the fallopian tube and has not developed sufficiently. Therefore, in the early stages of ectopic pregnancy, it is common to experience abdominal pain. If you feel abdominal pain, it indicates that the embryo is developing more and has already exerted some control over the fallopian tube. At this point, it is essential to adopt active treatment methods, although there is a possibility of heavy bleeding.
