What should I do if I have abdominal pain from an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am undergoing conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy. The day before yesterday, I had a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I am no longer at risk. Yesterday, I had intercourse with my husband, and I felt intermittent mild abdominal pain. I'm afraid it might have ruptured?

Doctor's answer:

The most common location for ectopic pregnancy is the isthmus of the fallopian tube. If severe abdominal pain worsens due to intense exercise, a color Doppler ultrasound examination is necessary for diagnosis, followed by symptomatic treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period for ectopic pregnancy, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. Bed rest is also required during the treatment period. Avoid intense exercise, maintain a calm mood, and do not experience excessive stress.
