How to judge whether the pain in the left lower abdomen is an ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is the common name for ectopic pregnancy, which means that the fertilized egg does not implant in the uterine cavity but implants outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic pregnancy can be judged by clinical symptoms, human chorionic gonadotropin test, and B-ultrasound examination to determine whether the left lower abdominal pain is an ectopic pregnancy. The specific introduction is as follows:

1. Clinical symptoms: There are many reasons for left lower abdominal pain, such as left ovarian cysts, ovarian rupture, colitis, etc. Typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy include amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding, and abdominal pain. If ectopic pregnancy occurs in the ovary, as the embryo grows and develops, it gradually increases in size, which will compress the ovary and cause the ovary to rupture. At this time, it generally causes severe pain, accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting.

2. Human chorionic gonadotropin test: If a woman has a history of sexual life and does not take contraceptive measures, and if she has amenorrhea and wants to determine whether she is pregnant and whether it is a normal pregnancy, she can go to the hospital to draw blood to test the human chorionic gonadotropin level, and check it again the next day. In a normal pregnancy, the human chorionic gonadotropin will double every other day. If it does not double, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is highly suspected, and further combined with B-ultrasound examination to comprehensively judge the embryo situation.

3. Ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination can be done 35 days after menstruation to understand whether there is a gestational sac in the uterine cavity. If a gestational sac is visible in the uterine cavity, it is usually a normal intrauterine pregnancy. You should pay attention to regular pregnancy checkups, daily care measures, diet adjustment, and avoid excessive fatigue. If the gestational sac is not in the uterine cavity, it is an ectopic pregnancy, and timely surgical treatment is recommended.

If you experience symptoms such as amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding, or dull abdominal pain, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations to determine whether it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy.
