Patient's question:
The first time I was pregnant, I didn't know if it was an ectopic pregnancy. What are the signs of ectopic pregnancy and how can ectopic pregnancy be prevented?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of ectopic pregnancy is poor tubal patency or pelvic adhesions. For example, if you have lower abdominal pain or pelvic inflammation, timely treatment is necessary to prevent tubal adhesions or poor patency. In daily life, pay attention to vulvar hygiene, and avoid sexual activity during menstruation to prevent pelvic inflammation. If the examination confirms pregnancy, it can be diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy through hCG testing and ultrasound. The common symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are abdominal pain and spotting after conception. If you experience these symptoms after conception, you should seek medical attention promptly.
