Patient's question:
I haven't had my period this cycle. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they found that I was 33 days pregnant. I previously had blocked fallopian tubes. I want to ask how long it takes to check for an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
At six weeks of early pregnancy, the gestational sac can be seen within the uterus. If it is still not visible, ectopic pregnancy should be considered. It is recommended to wait for about ten more days and then go to the hospital for a detailed examination with a transvaginal ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition, and it is advised that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
