Patient's question:
I had a previous ectopic pregnancy and am pregnant again now. I just took an hCG test. How many hCG levels are there for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
There needs to be an observation of the doubling speed of hCG values. If the doubling speed is very fast, then relatively speaking, it can be ruled out as ectopic pregnancy. It's not just one number that can make a decision. You can first go to the hospital to have blood drawn for hCG testing, and then recheck after two or three days. If the doubling is very fast, there is no need to worry. If the values are declining but the doubling is slow, there may be a possibility of ectopic pregnancy, and further confirmation with ultrasound results is necessary. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy poses serious harm to women's health. Patients need to pay attention to post-menstrual follow-up in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
