Patient's question:
Sharing a room with my boyfriend, my period is delayed by fifteen days, but the pregnancy test strips keep showing negative. I have a slight stinging pain in my lower left abdomen. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
You are still within this menstrual cycle. For now, do not consider ectopic pregnancy as the cause of abdominal pain. Pay attention to possible appendicitis or pelvic inflammatory disease, and observe whether your next menstrual period arrives on schedule. If there are any abnormalities, seek medical attention at a local hospital's gynecology department promptly.
