Patient's question:
My period started on the 9th, and this month it's on the 6th. But I can't tell if it's my period or an ectopic pregnancy rupture. I don't have a history of missed periods, and there wasn't any actual sexual contact—just accidental exposure to semen, which I washed off afterward. A pregnancy test showed negative. I don't know if it could be an ectopic pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Basically, it can be determined that it's not pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy, so there's no need to worry too much about the pain of appendicitis. Generally, it may also cause referred pain in other parts of the abdomen, which should be normal menstruation. Ectopic pregnancy would never rupture in this way and would be accompanied by severe lower abdominal pain. So, yours should be referred pain caused by appendicitis. Ectopic pregnancy has a very significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it's important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, with light and simple foods as the foundation.
