What are the differences between intrauterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Hello Doctor: What are the differences in symptoms between intrauterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy? I had pelvic fluid on August 21st, and I tested positive on February 3rd! My last menstrual period was on the 30th of the 15th month.

Doctor's answer:

According to the last menstrual period, it has been 5 weeks since the last period. Under normal circumstances, at 5 weeks of pregnancy, a B ultrasound should be able to see a gestational sac in the uterine cavity. It is recommended to undergo a B ultrasound examination. If no gestational sac is seen in the uterine cavity, it is temporarily not possible to rule out ectopic pregnancy. A re-examination is required after one week. If still no gestational sac is seen in the uterine cavity, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is considered high. In fact, having ectopic pregnancy is not, the patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as early detection and timely treatment are provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovery are very high.
