Is it pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I had my period on March 22nd, and had sexual intercourse from March 31st to April 1st. On the same day, I took a birth control pill. On April 7th, after sexual intercourse, I experienced bleeding and a slight pain in my lower abdomen. The amount of bleeding was the same as my usual period.

Doctor's answer:

Your situation involves considering the withdrawal bleeding caused by taking birth control pills. If the bleeding lasts for a long time, it can be considered as one menstrual period. If you are concerned about pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for a blood test to check hCG levels for pregnancy detection, or undergo an ultrasound examination to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy. For patients, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone.
