Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year. I got married to my husband two years ago, and we are getting along quite well. Whenever I think about being married now, I have to go to the hospital to measure my blood hCG value. I would like to ask how many cases of ectopic pregnancy are there with a blood hCG value?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your question. A significant decrease in blood hCG levels can only suggest pregnancy, and it is generally not used for early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy usually presents with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy. Additionally, if there is no rupture of the gestational sac, it may be detected around 40 days during a prenatal examination when no gestational sac is found in the uterine cavity, leading to a consideration of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
