Patient's question:
Hello, I am 31 years old, and my last menstrual period was on November 17th. Since November 17th of this month, I have been experiencing spotting with brownish blood. Yesterday morning, a pregnancy test showed positive. Today, the hospital did a color ultrasound, but nothing was found. My hCG value is 76.5. The doctor recommended bed rest. Hello, could my symptoms possibly be a case of ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based solely on the HCG value, if you haven't had any other illnesses recently, it should be pregnancy. However, the intrauterine ultrasound shows no gestational sac in the uterine cavity, which may be related to the number of days since your delivery, or it could be an ectopic pregnancy or a molar pregnancy. Currently, if further careful examination is conducted, it would focus on testing the changes in your HCG value. Because there was a case of spotting, if you don't feel at ease, you can go to another hospital for further examination.
