What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I had sex with my wife on December 17th, and the next day we discovered a small hole in the condom. My wife had her period on November 10th (lasting 5 days), and then she had another two days of bleeding on December 3rd. On December 23rd, she went to the hospital for a check-up, and the serum test value was 38.7. By December 25th, the serum test value had dropped to 15.6. On December 26th, she experienced bleeding from her lower body with slight pain. An ultrasound revealed a mass, so she was admitted to the hospital for observation. In the following days, she had no pain, the bleeding reduced, and the ultrasound showed no mass. The serum test value was 6.7. Is this ectopic pregnancy? If so, is the baby mine? Can pregnancy be detected within 5 days?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you don't hurry and can have a blood test to check for HCG to see if you are pregnant. If HCG levels rise but no gestational sac is found on ultrasound, be cautious. You can have blood tests for HCG every other day to see if there is doubling. There are many factors that can cause ectopic pregnancy, and patients need to seek medical attention promptly. It is advisable to go to a reputable hospital for treatment. Pay attention to the development of your condition and avoid self-treatment. Additionally, it is important to maintain good lifestyle habits and personal hygiene. I wish you a speedy recovery!
