Patient's question:
I took emergency contraception on the 12th of the first lunar month. My period came on the 19th of this month, with a small amount of dark-colored flow. The following days, it turned red. It cleared up on the 23rd. Three days later, on the 27th, it came back again, with a small amount of dark-colored flow. After four days, it turned red again. I've been experiencing abdominal pain. The last time I had my period, I drank cold water and washed clothes with cold water. I always take precautions, but this time it slipped, and I took emergency contraception.Doctor's answer:
Absolutely not. For suspected ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended to wait until 6 weeks post-menstruation before taking a pregnancy test. Ultrasound or laparoscopy can help confirm the diagnosis. The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are often atypical, typically including vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. Patients with ectopic pregnancy can, while understanding professional treatment, also use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily eating habits and never overeat.
