Patient's question:
I have a friend who feels like she might be pregnant because her stomach hurts a lot. Hello, can ectopic pregnancy be detected if you are pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If it is an ectopic pregnancy, it can be detected that you are pregnant, and you can use a pregnancy test kit to check. It shows two lines, proving that you are pregnant. If it shows two lines, it means you are not pregnant. However, it cannot determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. If you want to distinguish between an intrauterine pregnancy and an ectopic pregnancy, you need to have an ultrasound examination. Generally, ectopic pregnancy will cause severe abdominal pain.
