Patient's question:
I'm ten days late with my period and have taken two pregnancy tests, but the results were negative. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? Can ectopic pregnancy be detected?Doctor's answer:
In your current situation, it is still not possible to rule out ectopic pregnancy. If it were indeed ectopic pregnancy, since the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, its growth and development would be poor, resulting in relatively lower hormone levels. I recommend waiting a bit longer. If you experience abdominal pain, it is important to go to the hospital promptly for an ultrasound. For severe cases of ectopic pregnancy, it is advisable to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's recommendations for prompt treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above advice is for reference only. I hope the answer above can assist you. Thank you.
