Patient's question:
I tested positive that I'm pregnant, but I'm very afraid it might be an ectopic pregnancy. Can pregnancy test strips detect ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy test strips can generally detect whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. You can go to the hospital around 40-50 days of pregnancy to have an ultrasound examination to check if it is an intrauterine early pregnancy. During pregnancy, it is important to rest well, avoid overexertion, and do not lift heavy objects or engage in strenuous exercise to prevent uterine contractions that may lead to miscarriage. In the early stages of pregnancy, you can take folic acid orally appropriately to prevent fetal malformations.
