Patient's question:
My period has been delayed by almost a month, so I suspected that I might be pregnant. However, I bought a pregnancy test kit, but it showed negative. Later, I looked up some information and found that this could possibly be an ectopic pregnancy. Have you taken a pregnancy test and it showed negative? How could it possibly be an ectopic pregnancy? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
In your case, if you use a pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant, it can generally rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. For ectopic pregnancy, it can also appear as a positive test result with a pregnancy test. Since pregnancy tests can take a longer time to show results, it is best for you to get a blood hCG test at a local hospital in this situation. First, you need to determine if you are pregnant, and then undergo a B examination to confirm the diagnosis.
