Patient's question:
Can ectopic pregnancy be detected with a pregnancy test? The person went to the hospital two days ago for a urine early pregnancy test and it showed positive. Just bought a pregnancy test but it didn't show pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy is generally not detectable. An ultrasound is necessary. The diagnosis is based on the patient's condition. The patient should pay attention to rest, maintain a positive mood, and enhance nutrition. Blood tests can be conducted to measure hCG levels to determine the pregnancy status. At around 40 days, an ultrasound can be performed to check if it is an ectopic pregnancy. In addition to timely treatment for ectopic pregnancy, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating light meals and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
