How to check for ectopic pregnancy

Patient's question:

Half a month ago, I didn't have an appetite for food and was particularly averse to oil. In addition to nausea and vomiting, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the result was that I was pregnant. But I feel a bit like my vagina is chafed today, and my lower abdomen is a bit painful. My colleague said I might have an ectopic pregnancy. I want to know how to check for ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination for a more accurate check, to see how the gestational sac is inside the uterine cavity. Generally, it is estimated from the first day of the last menstrual period. As long as it is 6 weeks, the gestational sac can be examined carefully. If there is no gestational sac, it should be considered the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy usually has symptoms of abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible, and use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily diet, it is essential to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and never overeat.
