Patient's question:
Last month, my period was on February 10th, but it hasn't come yet by March 17th. A BC check showed no gestational sac, but there is a left ovarian cyst and pelvic fluid. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it may be due to the short duration that the gestational sac is not visible in the ultrasound examination. Generally, the gestational sac can be seen around 6 weeks of pregnancy, with the embryonic stalk visible between 6-7 weeks, and a distinct fetal heartbeat can be detected by week 8. In your current condition, a follow-up examination after one week should reveal the gestational sac. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
