Patient's question:
I had my period on the 1st of last month, and on the 12th of this month, I tested positive. However, my periods usually come 3 to 4 days late, or even up to a week. Before the test, I noticed a slight pain in my lower right abdomen. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the results showed an enlarged uterus with clear contours, indistinct endometrium, no gestational sac in the uterine cavity, uniform muscle layer echoes, and no abnormal masses in the bilateral adnexal regions. The progesterone test result was 9.5, and the HCG was 1684. However, the doctor was still unable to confirm whether it was an ectopic pregnancy and said I would need to have a color Doppler ultrasound in a few days. The lower abdomen has stopped hurting for the past two days, but sometimes it feels like menstrual cramps, without any bleeding or other symptoms. Please help me analyze my condition and provide an early response.Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy include: laparoscopic surgery, drug therapy, and laparotomy. Taking tubal pregnancy as an example, if drug conservative treatment can be diagnosed in the early stage of ectopic pregnancy when the fallopian tube has not ruptured, and the patient has no fertility requirements, drug therapy is the best choice.
