Patient's question:
I am currently two months pregnant. I had a previous ectopic pregnancy, and it wasn't discovered until four months into it. I'm worried about this one too, so I want to get an early and thorough check-up. How long can ectopic pregnancy be detected?Doctor's answer:
Generally, with a history of about 35 days of missed periods, if a pregnancy test can detect pregnancy, an ultrasound can be used for a thorough examination to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy. In some cases of irregular menstruation, it may take longer. If the blood HCG level decreases and a gestational sac is not visible inside the uterus, there is a high risk of ectopic pregnancy. It is important to pay attention to follow-up ultrasound examinations. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease 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 clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery.
