Patient's question:
I and my husband have been actively trying to conceive. A few weeks ago, I discovered I was pregnant using a pregnancy test, and just like a normal pregnancy, my period stopped. However, my HCG levels were very low. The doctor suspected an ectopic pregnancy, and I am really worried now. Could you please tell me what tests are used to diagnose ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for ectopic pregnancy, the following tests are mainly required:1. Vaginal examination: What are the tests for ectopic pregnancy? During the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in women, a vaginal examination is very important. If abnormal pain is detected during the examination, or if a mass or thickening of the fallopian tubes is found in the adnexal area, it is highly likely to be ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, in the examination of ectopic pregnancy in women, a vaginal examination is essential.
2. Ultrasound examination: If living embryonic tissue is detected in the fallopian tubes during an ultrasound examination, it can be diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy.
