Patient's question:
On November 9th, my period has not stopped until now. Today, the hCG test result was 224. The doctor said I might be pregnant, possibly an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage. He suggested I come back for another test in three days. If the level increases, it would be an ectopic pregnancy, and if it decreases, it would be a miscarriage. But I had my period on October 13th. Why could I still get pregnant? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ectopic pregnancy is generally treated with surgery, as it can easily rupture and cause bleeding. Due to various reasons, the fertilized egg goes astray during its journey and does not reach the uterus, but instead stays in another place, which results in ectopic pregnancy. After surgery, it is usually possible to get pregnant again after about a year. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any form of abortion can cause some damage to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Abortion patients should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold water.
