Patient's question:
Half a month ago, I was with my wife, and now she feels pregnant. I used a pregnancy test strip and it showed that she was just pregnant. The hospital examination also confirmed pregnancy, but why can't I see a gestational sac after the ultrasound? Is it an ectopic pregnancy, or is the test incorrect? Am I not pregnant? Or is the medical equipment not good enough? That's a women's and children's hospital, why do you ask us to come back in a week?First follow-up question: Hello, since she is pregnant, why do you need to wait a week before checking and then perform an abortion? Can it be done now? Thank you.
Second follow-up question: Hello, what do you mean by five weeks? How many days is that?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, at around 6 weeks of amenorrhea, a transvaginal ultrasound can typically show a gestational sac, embryonic tissue within the sac, and primitive cardiac activity. In your case, at 48 days of pregnancy, no gestational sac is observed in the uterine cavity, which may suggest an ectopic pregnancy or other abnormal pregnancy conditions such as spontaneous abortion.Recommendation: Rest and reduce physical activity. You can test blood hCG to observe whether it doubles every other day. A follow-up ultrasound in one week is recommended to assess the situation and provide symptomatic treatment.
