How to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Female, 31 years old, married to her husband for many years and has always wanted a child of her own. Three months ago, she underwent a fallopian tube irrigation procedure, and this month she finally got pregnant. However, after the examination, it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. She feels extremely frustrated. She asks: How can one determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

From your situation, it seems that you are about 50 days pregnant. There is still no visible gestational sac. Additionally, the HCG levels are low, which may suggest an ectopic pregnancy or a threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to monitor the HCG levels for two more days to observe the growth trend. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
