Patient's question:
My friend got her period on the third of last month, but now it's the 23rd and she still hasn't had her period. She took a test and it came back positive, but the doctor said they didn't see a gestational sac during the ultrasound. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? If it were an ectopic pregnancy, would they be able to see it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if an ectopic pregnancy occurs again, the first symptom that will appear is a positive result on a pregnancy test. In your case, it is recommended that you first take a pregnancy test. If it is positive, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. Around the 40th day of pregnancy, an ultrasound may show signs of an ectopic pregnancy, such as a cystic mass in the fallopian tube. In addition to timely treatment for ectopic pregnancy, patients should maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease.
