Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, and I am very sleepy now, a bit anorexic, but there is some bleeding below, and my lower abdomen also hurts a bit. Please ask: Can the gestational sac be checked for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
It's still early, and MRI cannot detect the gestational sac at this stage. It is recommended to dynamically monitor the changes in blood hCG and progesterone to assess the growth and development of the embryo. Even if it's normal now, the gestational sac may not be visible. Generally, hCG and progesterone results can be available within a day. Hospitals are not yet open, so it's difficult to make predictions at this time. Ectopic pregnancy is characterized by irregular vaginal bleeding, which should not be a major concern. If hCG follows the normal growth pattern and the progesterone level is greater than 25 ng/ml, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is relatively low. A follow-up MRI check in another week would be ideal, but it's better to get blood tests done first.
