Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 43 years old this year. Last month, I had sex. This month, I haven't had my period, and my stomach hurts a lot. I want to know, am I possibly having an ectopic pregnancy? How long can an ectopic pregnancy be detected? I hope you can explain it to me.Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, blood HcG can be detected about ten days after fertilization. Early pregnancy has begun, and it doubles every 48 hours. If it does not double or progesterone is low, it may indicate an ectopic pregnancy or poor embryo development. This can be detected around ten days later, which is about 28 days of pregnancy. It can help determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. 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 attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
