Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Am I pregnant with an IUD? Can I keep this child?Doctor's answer:
The incidence of ectopic pregnancy in ring pregnancy is about 4%, which is higher than in those without rings. Therefore, after a ring pregnancy occurs, the first step is to undergo an ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If it is an intrauterine pregnancy, the natural abortion rate is relatively high, and there is also a higher incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, stillbirth, and premature birth. There is also the possibility of compression and affecting embryo development. It is recommended that ring pregnancy be terminated as early as possible. Since abortion procedures within the first three months of pregnancy cause less harm to the body, it is better to perform the procedure as early as possible. For those who have already exceeded three months due to special reasons, it is also necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible and receive proper treatment such as mid-trimester induction of labor from a doctor.
