Can a blood test rule out ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Currently in the early stages of pregnancy, but the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is unlikely. Can a urine test be used to detect ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to help you. Urine tests are generally not used to diagnose ectopic pregnancy. If you experience low progesterone and hCG levels again during early pregnancy, it's important to seek medical attention. If you also have severe abdominal pain and heavy vaginal bleeding, ectopic pregnancy should be considered, and you should promptly visit the hospital for a posterior vaginal cul-de-sac puncture to confirm the diagnosis. Rest more often and avoid strenuous exercise. Wishing you good health.
