Patient's question:
Just these few days, my period hasn't come for a few days. It has been 34 days since my last period. My lower abdomen sometimes hurts. The pregnancy test shows a faint line, and I suspect it might be an ectopic pregnancy! The last time we had sex was almost two weeks ago.Doctor's answer:
For women of childbearing age with normal sexual activity, if they experience amenorrhea for 6-10 weeks, a positive urine pregnancy test, and symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, ectopic pregnancy should be highly suspected. If a vaginal ultrasound is performed and no gestational sac is observed within the uterine cavity, ectopic pregnancy can often be confirmed. In some complex cases, laparoscopy may be needed for final diagnosis. 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 undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
