Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital with my girlfriend for a prenatal check-up two days ago. All the tests showed that she is pregnant (40 days without her period), but the ultrasound did not detect any signs of pregnancy. The doctor said it might be an ectopic pregnancy. Please ask if it is possible to have an abortion if it is indeed the case? Thank youDoctor's answer:
There are two types of ectopic pregnancy: one is fallopian tube pregnancy, and the other is cornual pregnancy. Simply put, it means the fertilized egg implants in the wrong place and develops in an area where it cannot grow. Ectopic pregnancy generally cannot be treated with a simple abortion to avoid danger. Since ectopic pregnancy at a later stage can cause severe bleeding in the uterine cavity with a tightly closed cervix, this can lead to death. Ectopic pregnancy is a type of acute abdominal disease with a high clinical mortality rate and requires surgical intervention.
