Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on August 28th and had an IUD removed on February 6th. We had sexual intercourse from the 14th to the 20th. On June 7th, I had a transvaginal ultrasound, but the gestational sac was not visible. The hCG test results were carefully checked and came back as 495.0. The reference range is 0-2.5.Hello, is this an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy? When I have a bowel movement, some blood may flow from my vagina. Sometimes it's red, and at other times it's a small clump of dark red. Is this a sign of ectopic pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is not possible to make a judgment solely based on the HCG value. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to have an ultrasound examination of the uterus, and then everything will be clear. For the patient, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. In addition, the patient needs to pay attention to their own diet and psychological care, as well as getting adequate rest.
