Patient's question:
I haven't come for over a month, then I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the urine test showed pregnancy, but the ultrasound did not. Then I had another blood test, which also showed pregnancy. I want to know if it could be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Check if you have abdominal pain! First, get a urine test and an ultrasound done! If the ectopic pregnancy ruptures, it won't be possible to detect pregnancy hormones! A rupture will cause significant abdominal pain and bleeding! You can also have a D&C (dilation and curettage) showing decidual changes, which can help confirm the diagnosis! For the patient, if the ectopic pregnancy is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a positive mood to avoid affecting the condition.
