Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for a month, but my stomach keeps getting more painful, and I think it might be an ectopic pregnancy. How is ectopic pregnancy detected?Doctor's answer:
You are about one and a half months pregnant. If you want to know if you have an ectopic pregnancy, you can have a posterior vaginal cul-de-sac puncture. If non-clotting blood is extracted, it is likely an ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, you can undergo other auxiliary examinations, such as an ultrasound and tests for progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin levels. Ectopic pregnancy is a very critical condition that requires early detection and prompt treatment, otherwise it may pose a risk to your life.
