Patient's question:
I am married and currently trying to conceive. However, a few days before the estimated period, I experienced abdominal pain again, along with a small amount of bleeding. I am very concerned about whether it might be another ectopic pregnancy. How is ectopic pregnancy diagnosed, and what symptoms confirm it as ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
In the days before planning to have intercourse during pre-pregnancy, abdominal pain and spotting reappeared again. Loosen your mindset, don't get nervous. Consider it as ovulation bleeding. It is recommended that you rest appropriately, avoid overexertion, pay attention to hygiene of the external genital area, rinse with warm water, and maintain local cleanliness and dryness to prevent inflammation and infection. Blood tests can be conducted to check the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and progesterone to see if there are any changes. An MRI can be performed to examine for any abnormalities in the adnexal area. Generally, ectopic pregnancy has symptoms such as missed periods, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding.
