Patient's question:
A sister from the neighbor's house was pregnant for a short time when she was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. Fortunately, she received timely treatment. How timely was the discovery of the ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle is regular and you are not breastfeeding, you should first pay close attention to observing your menstrual cycle. If your period comes normally and the amount is the same as usual, it means you are not pregnant. If your period is delayed and does not come, you should first do a urine early pregnancy test to speculate whether you are pregnant. In the case of confirmation of pregnancy, if you experience bleeding or abdominal pain again, you need to go to the hospital promptly for an ultrasound and hCG test. Through careful examination, it can be determined whether it is an ectopic pregnancy.
