Patient's question:
I have been trying to conceive for a long time. When I missed my period, I used a pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant. I also experienced nausea and vomiting. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the test results were abnormal. An ultrasound revealed an ectopic pregnancy. I was really devastated. Could you please tell me what tests are used to diagnose ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for ectopic pregnancy, the main manifestations are HCG growth that is not obvious, or even an increase (an increase of less than 60% every 48 hours), and the progesterone level is also relatively low. MRI did not show a gestational sac inside the uterus, but there may be masses in the adnexal area, and there may be clots in the posterior fornix of the vagina. Therefore, looking at the low progesterone level alone cannot diagnose ectopic pregnancy. It is necessary to combine the number of days of pregnancy, MRI, and HCG tests to make a judgment. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
