Patient's question:
I had worn the IUD for nearly three years, and each period lasted for 7-8 days. I ignored this issue, so when my period came in March, I thought it was normal. However, after it lasted for more than 20 days, I went to remove the IUD. Then the doctor gave me a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure. After the D&C, it was discovered that I was pregnant. The doctor then performed a urine test, which came back positive, confirming that I was pregnant. The doctor administered several days of anti-inflammatory medication. Could this be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Due to chronic inflammation caused by long-term inflammation, an ultrasound examination should be performed to diagnose pregnancy. Typical clinical manifestations of ectopic pregnancy, such as irregular vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain, should be noted. It is important to try to relax and have relevant examinations conducted at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis. In addition to medication treatment for ectopic pregnancy, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
