Patient's question:
Last menstrual period was on November 19, 2011, and there has been no period since. On November 29, a pregnancy test strip and a pregnancy pen showed two lines. At the hospital, the hCG value was 255, and ultrasound revealed no abnormalities in the uterus or fallopian tubes. On November 30, another ultrasound test was conducted, and no abnormalities were still found. It has been 42 days since the last period, accompanied by abdominal pain, dizziness, and vaginal bleeding, which is dark red-brown. Is it an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
You currently have a relatively low blood HCG level, and you also have vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and no gestational sac observed inside the uterus. The possibility of ectopic pregnancy is very high. It is recommended to re-examine blood HCG and ultrasound to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If it is ectopic pregnancy, it is advised to actively treat it. Depending on the size of the gestational sac, different treatment methods will be adopted. If it is small, medication can be used; if it is large, surgery will be necessary.Doctor's inquiry: In addition, during the treatment for ectopic pregnancy, apart from immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from ectopic pregnancy.
