Patient's question:
I don't know if I'm pregnant or not. My period hasn't come for a while, and it started bleeding irregularly, with dark-colored blood. My lower abdomen also always feels painful. Could this be an ectopic pregnancy? If so, please ask: What is the cost of checking for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
hCG cannot thoroughly check for ectopic pregnancy. hCG cannot thoroughly check for ectopic pregnancy; it can only determine how pregnancy occurred and must be confirmed through ultrasound. Between 6-10 weeks of amenorrhea, if a urine pregnancy test is positive and symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding reappear, ectopic pregnancy should be highly suspected. If a vaginal ultrasound is performed and no gestational sac is found in the uterine cavity, ectopic pregnancy can often be diagnosed. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological condition 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 maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery.
