Patient's question:
My last menstrual period was on February 21. Then on March 29, the hCG test result showed I was pregnant with a blood value of 169. On April 4, I had a vaginal ultrasound measuring 1.9x1.3x1.6mm. It was written as "cystic structure in the uterine cavity, gestational sac to be ruled out," and it was recommended to recheck. On April 4, I had blood drawn, and the results came out today with a blood value of 576. I haven't had any vaginal bleeding. I don't know what the situation is and I'm very anxious and upset. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? Or could it be that the gestational sac isn't developing properly, or something else? Besides that, I've been feeling dizzy. Is the possibility of ectopic pregnancy high?Doctor's answer:
This cannot be determined as an ectopic pregnancy for the time being. Generally, a B prenatal examination is required to confirm it. A B is usually able to show a gestational sac only after six weeks, so at this stage, it is still unclear. We can wait for a while longer or do another B in a week. By then, if the gestational sac is of sufficient size, it should be possible to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. Pay attention to any vaginal bleeding, and if it occurs again, seek medical attention promptly. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Ectopic pregnancy is a disease that is not easily cured. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting the ectopic pregnancy and believe that they can definitely receive treatment.
