Patient's question:
Doctor, my sister was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy a few days ago. What are the symptoms of abdominal pain associated with ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Diagnosing ectopic pregnancy involves a thorough ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages, where no gestational sac is observed within the uterus. Alternatively, if a gestational sac is found to be implanted outside the uterus, it can confirm ectopic pregnancy. Blood progesterone hCG levels can preliminarily suggest this, such as when the values decline without normal doubling, which are all criteria for this speculation. The treatment measures are primarily based on surgery or strictly controlled use of mifepristone tablets.
