What methods are there to confirm ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been pregnant, but it hasn't shown up yet. I've heard it might be an ectopic pregnancy. I'm very worried, and I want to know what methods there are to confirm an ectopic pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

The methods to confirm ectopic pregnancy are through color Doppler MRI. If it is normal intrauterine pregnancy and early pregnancy at 49 days with the woman under 35, medication abortion can be decided. If it is not intrauterine early pregnancy or if color Doppler MRI shows no pregnancy through careful examination, medication abortion is not allowed. Medication abortion is generally performed at home for 3 days, with the last day being at the hospital for medication rescue. After taking the medication, 2-6 small white hairs and soft substances are expelled from the body, indicating successful miscarriage. Under normal circumstances, ultrasound can confirm intrauterine pregnancy earliest at 37-40 days of early pregnancy.
