Patient's question:
How long after ectopic pregnancy can it be detected? I had my last sexual encounter with my boyfriend at the end of January and early August of this year. My period arrived on August 9th and lasted until around August 14th. Then, on February 2nd, I had my second period, which lasted until February 6th. After that, on February 19th, I had another period, which lasted until around February 24th. But today (June 7th), I feel something coming out of my lower body, but it's not blood—it's something similar to discharge. At the hospital, the ultrasound showed thickened endometrium, and the doctor suspected ectopic pregnancy. Could this be the case based on this timeline? How soon after having sex with an ectopic pregnancy can it be detected?Doctor's answer:
That is to say, you and your husband had sexual intercourse at the end of January, and it has not happened again since then, right? In that case, if you have your period afterward, you will definitely not get pregnant. That doctor said you have an ectopic pregnancy. There are some treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy that need to be diagnosed, but since the symptoms of the patients are different, the diagnostic methods used are also different. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice symptoms.
