Patient's question:
HelloI am more than 40 days pregnant. Today, I had an ultrasound and there was no gestational sac inside the uterus. The doctor said there was a mixed echo mass near the ovary. Is it an ectopic pregnancy? There is no bleeding, but I have mild abdominal pain. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be done around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be taken 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be performed. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
