Patient's question:
The artificial insemination I did a few days ago is now the 17th day. On the 10th day, my period came. On the 15th day, I took a test and it was negative. But in the past two days, I can clearly feel the fallopian tubes fluctuating in and out. In the morning, I had a loss of appetite. How can I determine if it's an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If you are concerned about ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended to wait until 6 weeks after your period for a positive pregnancy test. Ultrasound or laparoscopy can help confirm the diagnosis. The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are often atypical, typically including spotting and abdominal pain. Patients with ectopic pregnancy can use home remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding symptomatic treatment. In daily life, they should maintain a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods. Pay attention to your diet—eat small, frequent meals and avoid greasy foods. It is advisable to rest in bed as much as possible.
