Patient's question:
Last menstrual period was on day 1, 24 days. The cycle usually lasts 34 days. On day 2, there was a very small amount of spotting. On day 2, HCG was measured at 31.8 and progesterone at 38. Chinese medicine has been used for fetal preservation, with 4 progesterone capsules taken daily. On March 2, HCG was measured at 98.1 and progesterone at 68. On March 5, there was another very small amount of spotting. By March 9, there was persistent discharge that was not bright red. On March 9, HCG was measured at 358 and progesterone at 15. Ultrasound showed the uterus to be anteverted and of normal size. The endometrial thickness was 0.8 cm, with uneven echoes. A 0.6 cm low-echo area was observed on the posterior wall. The rest of the uterine walls had uniform echoes. Both ovaries were of normal size with no abnormal echoes. Currently, no obvious abnormal masses were found in either adnexal region. The rectal cul-de-sac had 0.5 cm of fluid depth. Can ectopic pregnancy lead to miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Young woman, irregular menstruation. You have rectal fluid accumulation and elevated HCG, suggesting an ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you be hospitalized for treatment. Additionally, during the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. Appropriate protein supplementation is beneficial. Consuming protein aids in recovery from illness.
