Patient's question:
I had my period on the 8th of last month, and had a one-time sexual intercourse with my husband. It hasn't come yet this month. After a thorough examination, the result was positive, but there was no visible result on the ultrasound. The doctor said it might be an ectopic pregnancy. He advised me to pay close attention and told me to come back for a check-up in a week. I want to ask what should I do if it is indeed an ectopic pregnancy. The doctor didn't explain anything to me, and I feel very upset.Doctor's answer:
Is it an ectopic pregnancy, it depends on your regular menstrual cycle; if your menstrual cycle is normal, then at this time, 30% of the gestational sac can be seen on ultrasound. You can re-examine in a week. For a small part, if it's due to delayed menopause, the gestational sac may reappear later. Pay attention to abdominal pain, and have a thorough examination when the time comes.Doctor's inquiry: Do you usually have a delayed menstrual cycle? Was your self-tested early pregnancy test positive (strong positive or weak positive)?
In addition to timely treatment for ectopic pregnancy, patients should maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and the belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay more attention to their dietary care and closely monitor changes in their symptoms.
