Patient's question:
Half a month ago, I was with my wife, and now my wife feels like she might be pregnant. I used a pregnancy test kit and it showed that she had just become 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 at all? Or is the medical equipment not good enough? That's a women's and children's hospital, so why should we come back in a week for another check-up?First follow-up question: Hello, since she is pregnant, why do we need to wait a week before coming for an abortion check-up? Can't we do it now? Thank you.
Second follow-up question: Hello, what exactly is the five weeks you mentioned in terms of days?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, at around 6 weeks of amenorrhea, a transvaginal ultrasound can typically visualize a gestational sac along with embryonic tissue inside, as well as primitive cardiac activity. In your case, at 48 days, no gestational sac is observed in the uterine cavity, which may suggest possible ectopic pregnancy or spontaneous abortion, among other abnormal pregnancy conditions.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 appropriate treatment.
