When Should an Ectopic Pregnancy Be Investigated?
A sexually-active woman of reproductive age presenting with single-sided lower abdominal pain and missed or light period should be investigated for ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy is investigated by way of abdominal palpation, ultrasound, and repeat pregnancy hormone (HCG) level tests.
Ultrasound examinations are rarely by themselves able to exclude ectopic pregnancy. In a normal pregnancy hormone levels double each day. In an ectopic pregnancy levels either increase slowly, remain static, or both increase and decrease.
Could You Claim Ectopic Pregnancy Compensation?
Failure or delay in arranging repeat pregnancy hormone tests can result in a delay in identifying and treating ectopic pregnancy as can failures to properly interpret the ultrasound scan. Failures to correctly interpret test results are not unknown, leading to gynaecologists advising that pregnancy has failed when in fact a continuing ectopic pregnancy exists.
Delays in identification and treatment lead not only to prolonged periods of distress and severe pain and suffering but also in many cases to a ruptured fallopian tube with consequences for abdominal adhesions and possible complications with fertility.
