How to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

The amount is a bit more than before, and it also contains blood clots. The bleeding from the lower body is also quite heavy. Currently, medication is being used for treatment (starting from the 22nd!). The left abdomen doesn't seem to hurt anymore, but the lower abdomen always feels bloated. The skin breakdown is also much less than before, with only a small amount remaining!

Doctor's answer:

Hello! In your case, with severe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, I don't know if you have undergone relevant tests such as HCG, whether it has decreased, and whether a detailed ultrasound examination has revealed a gestational sac outside the uterine cavity. Has it been confirmed as an ectopic pregnancy? From the information you uploaded, it is too brief. Based on the symptoms, there is a possibility of ectopic pregnancy, but ectopic pregnancy cannot be diagnosed solely based on symptoms. It must be confirmed by a detailed ultrasound examination revealing a gestational sac outside the uterine cavity to definitively diagnose it. Mifepristone is a medication for medical abortion, not for the conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy. I suggest you ask your attending physician about your specific condition. Don't hurry—first confirm whether it is intrauterine early pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy.
