Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for a long time. I took a test and it showed a faint positive, but when I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, there was nothing in the uterus. I'm worried it might be an ectopic pregnancy, so I want to ask if an ultrasound can detect ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Early pregnancy testing shows a weak positive result, which itself cannot diagnose delivery. With a two-month delay in menstruation, no gestational sac can be observed in the uterine cavity, which should rule out delivery. Additionally, a detailed MRI examination can detect an ectopic pregnancy sac in the pelvic cavity. Therefore, through MRI examination, delivery and ectopic pregnancy can be preliminarily ruled out. Thus, your condition is likely due to endocrine disorders. It is recommended to visit a doctor for a comprehensive pelvic MRI examination to further rule out delivery, followed by a six-hormone test. Subsequently, estrogen-progesterone sequential therapy can be used to regulate the menstrual cycle.
