Patient's question:
Originally, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination because of stomach pain. I had my period in March, but the examination at the hospital showed a weak positive result, slightly high pH value, and an enlarged left ovary on the ultrasound. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
General ectopic pregnancy often has a history of missed periods and early pregnancy symptoms, and may have a history of pelvic inflammatory disease or infertility. It usually presents with mild or no abdominal pain, or only a dull lower abdominal pain on one side. Gynecological examination reveals cervical motion tenderness, a slightly enlarged and soft uterus, which is smaller than the gestational age, and a cystic mass with unclear thin walls on one adnexa, which is clearly tender. Early pregnancy tests are positive or weakly positive, and ultrasound shows no gestational sac in the uterus, but a mixed mass is visible in one adnexa area. The mass may also show fetal heartbeat. Your symptoms do not match the signs of ectopic pregnancy, so it is recommended that you undergo further investigation for clarification. If ectopic pregnancy is not treated promptly, it may lead to rupture again in the future, which would be very dangerous. In addition to timely treatment, patients with ectopic pregnancy also need to maintain a good mood in their daily lives.
