Patient's question:
I just got pregnant for over a month, but I feel some pain in my stomach. My relatives said it might be caused by an ectopic pregnancy. I'm very worried about whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. How can I confirm it? Is ectopic pregnancy only treated with surgery to remove the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy can be removed surgically or expelled from the body through rigorous treatment. Early pregnancy abdominal pain is not necessarily ectopic pregnancy; intrauterine pregnancy can also cause abdominal pain due to the shrinkage of the uterus, which exerts certain control and traction on the surrounding tissues. However, the pain is bearable and does not interfere with daily life. The pain of ectopic pregnancy is sharp and tearing. It is recommended not to overworry, and if there are any abnormalities, seek medical attention promptly for examination and treatment.
