Patient's question:
I am now 5 weeks pregnant, but sometimes my vagina gets chafed. During deep sleep in the middle of the night and when waking up in the morning, I often experience nausea and abdominal pain. Even during afternoon naps, I sometimes wake up in pain. I also have frequent urination. I suspect it might be an ectopic pregnancy. I would like to consult a doctor. Is my risk of ectopic pregnancy high?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, if you experience severe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, be cautious of the possibility of threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Frequent urination and nausea are generally early pregnancy symptoms and are not directly related to ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage. It is recommended that you not take it lightly and seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination. Have your progesterone and hCG levels tested, and receive relevant treatment based on the test results. Pay attention to getting more rest and avoid fatigue.
