Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for five years and have always wanted a child. Last month, I finally got pregnant. A few weeks ago, I had a prenatal check-up at the hospital, and the doctor said my hCG level was a bit high, which might be an ectopic pregnancy. Could you please tell me what the normal range of hCG levels is for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy hCG values do not have a clear reference range, but if the hCG doubles every other day poorly, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is still relatively high. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activity and wait for a few days for a color ultrasound examination. If there is no gestational sac at 6 weeks or accompanied by abnormal hCG levels, it is still basically diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to rest more and pay close attention to observe any secretions in these days.There are several treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are detected.
