Patient's question:
I took the birth control pill twice in a row last month and later found out I was pregnant. I experienced vaginal bleeding, and it's been about 40 days since I might have conceived. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, there was no gestational sac found in the uterus, but there was a shadow in the left adnexa. My blood test showed a human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level of 1145. However, the doctor said they couldn't completely confirm an ectopic pregnancy, with a 90% possibility, and advised me to undergo strict treatment. I went to another hospital, where they first suggested I have a uterine evacuation before testing the intrauterine tissue. I'm very hesitant. What should I do to minimize harm to my body? How can ectopic pregnancy be confirmed?Doctor's answer:
According to the information you purchased, ectopic pregnancy is generally confirmed through ultrasound. It is recommended to visit a better hospital and have a clearer ultrasound performed. If necessary, an ultrasound examination via the vagina can be conducted for further verification. In addition to treating ectopic pregnancy, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times. They should eat more fruits, vegetables, and exercise more to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the pace of treatment.
