Patient's question:
Hello everyone. My period is a week late and hasn't arrived yet. I took a few tests myself and found out I'm pregnant. This morning, I also experienced abdominal pain again. I have a few questions. Is my condition an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Whether it is an early intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy, both can cause abdominal pain symptoms. If the abdominal pain is caused by an early intrauterine pregnancy, it is commonly associated with threatened miscarriage, and the possibility of an early pregnancy ultrasound is high. It is necessary to undergo a careful ultrasound examination after five weeks of pregnancy to confirm the diagnosis. If the examination indicates an intrauterine pregnancy, further blood tests to measure progesterone and hCG are required to assess the growth and development of the embryo. Medications may be prescribed to support the pregnancy if necessary.
