Patient's question:
I took a pregnancy test around February 13 and it showed I was pregnant. However, I've been having lower abdominal pain since the middle of March, and it's not as bad these past couple of days. I haven't experienced any other symptoms yet. I'm worried it might be an ectopic pregnancy. What should I do about ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is best to have an ultrasound first to check. If a gestational sac can be seen inside the uterus, it generally means ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. Sometimes mild abdominal pain may occur in early pregnancy, but as long as it is not severe abdominal pain, it is usually nothing serious. We recommend you to have prenatal tests. When facing ectopic pregnancy, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If ectopic pregnancy does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
