Is it possible that I have an ectopic pregnancy? What should I do?

Patient's question:

I've been pregnant for 35 days with severe pain in the lower right abdomen that lasts for a second, while the left abdomen occasionally feels uncomfortable but not intensely painful. There's no vaginal bleeding.
History and effectiveness of previous treatment: I've been pregnant for 35 days with severe pain in the lower right abdomen that lasts for a second, while the left abdomen occasionally feels uncomfortable but not intensely painful. There's no vaginal bleeding.

Doctor's answer:

A mild discomfort in the lower abdomen in the early stages of pregnancy is a normal phenomenon, but ectopic pregnancy cannot be diagnosed solely based on abdominal pain. Generally, the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are not obvious, and severe abdominal pain may only reappear when the ectopic pregnancy ruptures. Based on your description, there is mild pain on both sides of the lower abdomen, which should not be a sign of ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to visit the hospital in two days for an ultrasound to check the growth and development of the gestational sac.
