Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to say hello; Is ectopic pregnancy only considered ectopic pregnancy after pregnancy? If there is lower abdominal pain for 5 days of missed period, but a careful examination shows no pregnancy, then it is not ectopic pregnancy, right?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the situation you mentioned indeed needs to be pregnant before it can be called an ectopic pregnancy. The situation you described is indeed pregnancy and no gestational sac can be found in the uterus. Only by finding a gestational sac in another position can it be called an ectopic pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, it is impossible to call it an ectopic pregnancy. In your case, it is still recommended to actively follow up for further examinations such as ultrasound to determine the condition. In addition to treating ectopic pregnancy, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a happy mood to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
