Patient's question:
Does a typical ectopic pregnancy cause bloating in the lower abdomen? What are the reasons that can lead to ectopic pregnancy? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. After six weeks of pregnancy, a careful ultrasound examination does not reveal an intrauterine gestational sac, but a mass is observed in the adnexal area. A blood test shows low hCG levels, which can basically diagnose ectopic pregnancy. It is necessary to have a focused re-examination. After diagnosis, active treatment should be taken. For example, drug conservative treatment can be chosen based on the severity of the condition, while surgical treatment is required for severe cases to prevent heavy bleeding and the risk of shock.
