Patient's question:
My menstrual period has also been delayed for a long time, and it has been more than 10 days. It was supposed to come this month, specifically on December 6th. Moreover, I have taken early pregnancy tests three times, and all of them showed negative results. However, I have also experienced symptoms that usually occur before my period, such as lower back pain, acne, and breast tenderness. But why is it still not coming? Recently, I have also been experiencing motion sickness when riding in a car.Although my menstrual cycle was not very regular in the past, with a maximum deviation of only one week, I really can't figure out what could be causing this.
Question: Could it be an ectopic pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, a pregnancy test can only confirm whether you are pregnant but cannot confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy, also known as tubal pregnancy, refers to pregnancy outside the uterine cavity, such as cervical pregnancy, fallopian tube pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy, peritoneal pregnancy, pelvic pregnancy, etc. All of these are types of ectopic pregnancy. If it is diagnosed, immediate treatment measures must be taken, otherwise there is a risk of life-threatening complications. Since each person's condition and cause of the disease are different, it is recommended that you seek treatment at a formal and professional hospital specializing in infertility. The main approach should be to conduct targeted examinations based on your individual circumstances and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
