Patient's question:
I currently have a baby, now 24 years old, this is my first pregnancy. I have been continuously understanding about the fetus in the womb, apart from the pregnant woman's technique. I have learned a little about ectopic pregnancy. I would like to ask the doctor, if it is ectopic pregnancy, can it be detected with a test paper?Doctor's answer:
For ectopic pregnancy, it is also a form of pregnancy, which is an abnormal condition. This is mainly because the embryo implants and grows outside the uterus. This condition can only be confirmed as pregnancy through a pregnancy test, but it cannot confirm whether it is ectopic pregnancy. Generally, it is necessary to undergo a thorough ultrasound examination and combine blood tests to further clarify and confirm the diagnosis. Therefore, after pregnancy, it is generally recommended to undergo a thorough ultrasound examination around the 40th day of pregnancy. As long as a gestational sac can be seen in the uterine cavity, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out.
