When can ectopic pregnancy be detected earliest?

Patient's question:

I had my last menstrual period on October 15th, and my cycle is 27 days. I tested positive for a weak pregnancy sign myself yesterday, and I've already started experiencing slight pain in my lower right abdomen. Is this a sign of an ectopic pregnancy? What is the earliest time I can find out?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, ectopic pregnancy needs to be identified around 40 days. Suggestions: Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous. It is recommended that you pay attention to its early symptoms and pay attention to the check of amenorrhea. Most patients have amenorrhea for 6~8 weeks, but some patients have no obvious history of amenorrhea, and some mistake vaginal bleeding for a normal menstrual period. Abdominal pain is caused by the rupture of the fallopian tube, often presenting as a tearing pain in one lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and a sense of rectal fullness. If the rupture is severe, the pain is unbearable. Vaginal bleeding: There is often irregular vaginal bleeding, dark brown in color, small in amount, generally not exceeding the amount of menstruation, and always incomplete.
