Patient's question:
I recently feel something unusual with my uterus, not sure if it's an ectopic pregnancy, want to ask the doctor, when can I find out if it's an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If the uterus has abnormal functional changes and alters its appearance, it is necessary to undergo a thorough examination to clarify the issue. If it is merely a feeling that something is wrong, ectopic pregnancy cannot be diagnosed based on sensation alone. The first step is to confirm pregnancy, the second is to observe the absence of a gestational sac within the uterus, and the third is to identify a gestational sac in the fallopian tube, which then warrants consideration of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, a careful ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages, combined with comprehensive analysis of blood progesterone and hCG levels, is recommended.
