Patient's question:
I am a 23-year-old female and have been feeling quite tired recently. I have a sense that something is not right with my body. Could it be this condition? Please ask: What level of progesterone can rule out ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The most effective method to rule out ectopic pregnancy is a thorough ultrasound examination. When pregnancy is suspected, if vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain reappears, an ultrasound is necessary to confirm whether the embryo is located within the uterus and to rule out ectopic pregnancy. To rule out ectopic pregnancy, an ultrasound should be performed. If a gestational sac is found within the uterus, it indicates a normal pregnancy, not ectopic pregnancy. However, there is a drawback to ultrasound testing: if pregnancy is very early, it may still be too soon for the ultrasound to detect it. Generally, it is recommended to have an ultrasound at the hospital around the 45th day of pregnancy to determine whether it is ectopic pregnancy.
