Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend (withdrawal) and my period came very late. After a clean 7 days, I had another period. My colleagues said it could be an ectopic pregnancy. Is that the case.Doctor's answer:
Generally, having a menstrual period rules out the possibility of pregnancy. In your case, it is highly unlikely. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough blood HCG test to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If it is not pregnancy-related miscarriage, non-menstrual vaginal bleeding can be either physiological or pathological. Generally, some women may experience ovulatory bleeding during their ovulation period, which refers to extremely light bleeding between two normal menstrual cycles, accompanied by varying degrees of lower abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. However, if the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used. However, irregular vaginal bleeding should also raise the possibility of the following conditions: cervical polyps, acute vaginitis, severe cervical erosion, cervical cancer, submucosal uterine fibroids, and others.
