I want to know how long it takes for a transvaginal ultrasound to detect an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have been pregnant for a month now. The doctor said I might have an ectopic pregnancy, but it needs to be confirmed after several months of doing a transvaginal ultrasound. How long does it take for a transvaginal ultrasound to detect ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

After getting pregnant, you can confirm whether there is a risk of ectopic pregnancy through careful examination with color Doppler ultrasound or transvaginal ultrasound. Generally, after the sixth week of pregnancy, you can confirm the risk of ectopic pregnancy through careful examination with color Doppler ultrasound or transvaginal ultrasound. After getting pregnant, it is generally still recommended to choose to undergo color Doppler ultrasound or routine B examination. Such examinations generally will not affect the health of the fetus.
