Ectopic pregnancy case study

A history of endometriosis also and tubal surgery also may increase the risk of occurrence of the condition. Another important question to ask is n recent or past urinary tract infections in the patient. The patient's past infection by chlamydia coupled with the inconsistent condom use increases the risk of infection being a cause of the presenting symptoms. Urinary tract treating is hence critical in ruling out such. Clinical findings in ectopic pregnancy Ectopic pregnancy is clinically characterized by a triad of three symptoms pain, amenorrhea, and vaginal bleeding (Oron & Tulandi, 2013). The absence of intrauterine pregnancy indicates a likelihood of ectopic if the HCG levels were 1500 -2000 Iu/l (Lee, Dupuis, Chen, Smith & Kim, 2018). In cases where the HCG and ultrasound are inconclusive, serial HCG testing can be used and the HCG doubling time assessed.
