Can the ectopic pregnancy test paper also be used?

Patient's question:

Hello, can an ectopic pregnancy test paper also be used? Besides, if it is ectopic pregnancy, what are the symptoms? What is the general accuracy rate of pregnancy tests using test papers?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, ectopic pregnancy cannot be detected using a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test can only determine if you are pregnant, but it cannot reveal the location of the gestational sac. Generally, ectopic pregnancy is ruled out by performing an ultrasound at the appropriate time to check how the gestational sac reaches the uterine cavity. As long as it reaches the uterine cavity, ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. The accuracy rate of a pregnancy test is generally 99% when used correctly. 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 avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
