Chapter 305 Ectopic Pregnancy
Fortunately, this private hospital didn't have a large flow of patients, and the process from registration to consultation to receiving the test results was exceptionally smooth.
Half an hour later, Chen Youen held the thin diagnosis report, unwilling to believe it.
The words "ectopic pregnancy" on the report were particularly jarring, and she couldn't help but ask the doctor to confirm again, "Doctor, are you sure it's an ectopic pregnancy? Could it be a test error?"
The female doctor in the white coat adjusted her glasses and patiently explained, pointing to the HCG levels and ultrasound images on the report.
"Look here, the gestational sac is implanted in the isthmus of the fallopian tube. Based on the clinical symptoms and blood test results, the diagnosis is clear. The gestational sac has not yet ruptured, but ectopic pregnancy itself carries the risk of rupture and bleeding at any time."
Shen Feiwan leaned back in her chair, her face even paler than before, and her voice was breathless as she spoke, "Then I'll need surgery, right? Actually, I never planned to have this child... I was diagnosed with endometritis before, and I've been taking medication to control the inflammation. I was planning to wait until the inflammation subsided before proceeding with the treatment."
She subconsciously pressed her lower abdomen, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The doctor nodded. "If the person didn't want to keep the pregnancy, then we can skip the psychological counseling step. However, ectopic pregnancy is different from a regular miscarriage; in any case, the pregnancy needs to be terminated."
Chen Youen stood to the side, and when she heard the phrases "never intended to have it in the first place" and "has been taking medication," her brows furrowed deeply. Just how much had Shen Feiwan been hiding from her? She was really being unfair…
But now wasn't the time to complain. She consulted the doctor, "Should we have surgery right now? I've heard that ectopic pregnancies are very dangerous. Look how much pain she's in!"
The doctor glanced at the report again. "You're right, an ectopic pregnancy is indeed dangerous, but the gestational sac hasn't ruptured yet, so there's still a chance for medication. Surgery would require cutting the fallopian tube, which carries a certain risk of recurrence and damage to fallopian tube function. If the patient wants to have children in the future, medication is the preferred option. Of course, if medication fails, surgery will be necessary."
The doctor looked at Shen Feiwan and said, "You still plan to have children in the future, right? There are currently two treatment options: medication and surgery. You can decide which one to choose."
Shen Feiwan replied almost without hesitation, "Then I'll choose medication first."
The doctor nodded. "Okay, let me tell you about the medication treatment plan first. It mainly involves terminating the pregnancy through methotrexate injections, usually one injection is enough. You need to have your HCG levels checked again in four days. If the level doesn't drop enough, you may need to get a second injection, but a maximum of two injections."
"You also need to remember the follow-up check-up dates. You must check HCG on the 4th and 7th days, and then once a week thereafter. The whole process will take about 1 to 2 months. There are several absolute restrictions during treatment: abstain from sexual activity, avoid folic acid intake and strenuous exercise, and strictly use contraception for 3 months because methotrexate is teratogenic."
"If you experience worsening abdominal pain or dizziness and weakness, you must come to the emergency room immediately." The doctor looked at Shen Feiwan and said seriously, "After this treatment is successful, you should have an ultrasound as soon as possible during your next pregnancy to rule out the possibility of another ectopic pregnancy."
"Okay," Shen Feiwan agreed, then asked, "Can I get the injection now?"
"We need to check your liver and kidney function first," the doctor typed on the keyboard. "I'll give you a blood test order. Go pay the fee and have your blood drawn. If the results are normal, we can schedule your injection."
Shen Feiwan quickly completed her first injection, but the doctor instructed her to stay in the hospital for observation for one to two hours before leaving.
Chen Youen helped her to the rest area and found a seat by the window. The rest area was empty at the moment, with only the two of them there.
Chen Youen put his arm around Shen Feiwan and let her lean on his shoulder to rest, asking with concern, "Do you feel any better about your stomach pain now?"
Shen Feiwan nodded, her complexion was indeed better than when she first arrived, and she spoke with more confidence, "Much better, it's probably the medication working."
Chen Youen unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her. After watching her drink a few sips, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Now can you tell me what happened? If I'm not mistaken, this child should be Bo Junxing's, right?"
"Yes, I got pregnant when I was abroad last time. I didn't take the medication in time, and when I returned to China, something happened at home, so I just kept putting it off."
"Then why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it from me?"
"I originally planned to have an abortion, but then I was diagnosed with inflammation, so I kept putting it off until now."
Chen Youen sighed, "I'm really fed up with you. Does Bo Junxing know about this?"
“He already knew. As soon as he found out, he made me get an abortion. But a few days ago, he suddenly said he wanted the child and wanted to meet to talk about it. I thought he was just saying it casually, but I didn’t expect him to actually come.”
“He’s so fickle. Don’t worry about him. You definitely can’t keep this baby, and it’s too late to save it now.” Chen You’en frowned, tapping her knee lightly with her fingertips. “This is really troublesome. You have to stay in bed and rest now, and you have to keep it a secret from Lin Xiaoyan. If he finds out you’re pregnant with Bo Junxing’s child, he’ll probably explode on the spot.”
"Yeah, he was going to take me to the hospital, but I shook him off." Shen Feiwan had just finished speaking when her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.
Chen Youen glanced at the three words "Lin Xiaoyan" flashing on the screen and said speechlessly, "Speak of the devil. How are you going to answer this call? Should I answer it?"
"Well, he's called more than a dozen times already." Shen Feiwan handed her the phone and closed her eyes to rest.
Chen Youen answered the phone, and as soon as she said "hello," Lin Xiaoyan's cold, deep voice came from the other end, "Who are you?"
"I'm Wanwan's friend!" Chen You'en immediately raised her voice, deliberately sounding angry. "Lin Xiaoyan, what do you mean? Is this how you treat Wanwan on our first day of marriage? She's not feeling well and you don't even take care of her. What kind of husband are you?"
"Let her answer the phone." Lin Xiaoyan's tone remained cold.
"What the hell are you talking about! She just fell asleep and you want to wake her up?" Chen You'en became more and more agitated. "I don't think you truly love her! If you loved her, would you treat her like this? She needs to rest, so don't call her again!"
Seeing that she was about to hang up, Lin Xiaoyan finally realized she was in a hurry. "Did you go to the hospital? What happened to her?"
"Acute endometritis!" Chen Youen blurted out, deliberately emphasizing her words. "The doctor said she needs to rest and can't have sex for a while. Don't bother her!"
After saying that, she slammed the phone down.
Shen Feiwan leaned on her shoulder, her eyes still closed, but the corners of her mouth turned up without any attempt to hide it. "You're really something, you solved two problems for me at once."
"That's right, don't you know who I am?" Chen Youen snorted. "You should have told me about the pregnancy earlier, and I could have given you some advice."
"I regret it, but there's no going back." Shen Feiwan sighed softly.
"What are you regretting?" Chen Youen patted the back of her hand. "Don't hide anything from me in the future, you hear me?"
"understood."
