Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on November 17th. On December 16th, I went to the hospital for a blood test, and the specific β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level was 76.59 mIU/mL, and the progesterone level was 12.7 g/mL. The doctor asked me to come back for another blood test in three days. On December 19th, the follow-up test results showed a specific β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level of 491.40 mIU/mL and a progesterone level of 12.9 g/mL. Since the doctor has already gone off duty today and I couldn’t get the report in time, could you help me check if there are any issues with the data?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Your hCG level is normal, but the progesterone level is low, which may lead to threatened miscarriage.Advice: It is recommended to take progesterone orally and receive progesterone injection for fetal preservation treatment. Follow up with blood hCG and progesterone tests after one week. Around the 45th day of amenorrhea, undergo pelvic ultrasound to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. During this period, if you experience vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately.
