Patient's question:
I haven't had my period for over two months, and I also feel a little pain in my lower right abdomen. Hello, is this an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy, also known as tubal pregnancy, refers to a condition where the fertilized egg fails to implant in the uterus after conception and instead grows outside the uterine cavity, most commonly in the fallopian tubes. Right-sided abdominal pain alone cannot confirm a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. Endocrine disorders, abdominal colds, and gynecological inflammation could all lead to such symptoms. I recommend that you go to a reputable large hospital for blood tests to check for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and observe whether the levels double. Additionally, combining this with a gynecological ultrasound can help determine whether it is indeed ectopic pregnancy. During this time, pay close attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. Monitor the abdominal pain closely.
