Patient's question:
My older cousin has been divorced for several years and has been trying to get pregnant. However, she hasn't been able to get pregnant yet. Last time, she finally got pregnant, but it was an ectopic pregnancy. After the surgery, she started trying again. Her period hasn't come this month, and she's very worried it might be another ectopic pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Early pregnancy test strips can only confirm pregnancy but cannot confirm the type of pregnancy, so it is not possible to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy. The suspicion of ectopic pregnancy requires confirmation through a B done in the hospital. Only by observing how the gestational sac is implanted within the uterus can a definitive diagnosis be made. If people discover pregnancy through self-testing but are unsure about ectopic pregnancy, it is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis. The daily treatment for ectopic pregnancy patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that ectopic pregnancy patients can recover quickly!
