Is hCG 500 mostly an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit these past few days, so I went to the hospital for a complete blood count. Could you please tell me if hCG 500 is likely an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

This is pregnancy, but ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out for now. From the results, the hCG level is not considered too high, so it is advisable to pay more attention to enhancing nutrition, etc. It is also recommended to have a positive re-examination in a few days. If the hCG level doubles every other day, it can be considered a normal pregnancy. It is suggested to have a color Doppler ultrasound around the 6th week. If a gestational sac can be seen growing and developing, it is safe. Pay attention to personal living habits and maintain a healthy diet.
