Patient's question:
I have always wanted to have children. I had a miscarriage before, but I haven't been able to get pregnant recently. I've been feeling some abdominal pain and went for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it was an ectopic pregnancy. So I'd like to ask how I can have a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Women who are prone to ectopic pregnancy should, if confirmed pregnant, undergo a comprehensive early pregnancy check-up at the hospital within six weeks after their last menstrual period. After a brief period of amenorrhea, if there is a dull pain or a sense of heaviness in one side of the lower abdomen, it is important to be aware of the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If, shortly after amenorrhea, membrane-like flakes or tubular substances are expelled from the vagina, and when placed in water, they appear granular on the surface, it indicates ectopic pregnancy, and further medical treatment should be sought. During a natural miscarriage of ectopic pregnancy, vaginal bleeding is not usually heavy, while internal bleeding is more apparent, often accompanied by severe abdominal pain. In contrast, a normal intrauterine early pregnancy miscarriage typically involves heavier vaginal bleeding, which may or may not be accompanied by abdominal pain.Treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy:
1. Laparoscopic surgery;
2. Medication therapy;
3. Open abdominal surgery.
