Patient's question:
Last month, I stayed in the same room with my boyfriend, and I haven't had my period for nearly 40 days. Yesterday, I had an ultrasound, which showed dark areas both inside and outside the uterus. Locally, they say it's an ectopic pregnancy, but other doctors say it's not, because there are also dark areas inside the uterus. So, I want to ask if this is an ectopic pregnancy or an intrauterine pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it cannot be fully confirmed whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy, because some women may have a later implantation of the embryo during pregnancy. It may be because the embryo has not yet implanted at this time. It is recommended that you wait a few more days and then have a follow-up ultrasound to confirm. If the diagnosis is ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to undergo surgical treatment promptly. Therefore, it is essential to go to a regular gynecology and obstetrics hospital for a follow-up check-up.
