Patient's question:
I am 26 years old and have doubts about the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. Hello, can a ectopic pregnancy be detected through a urine pregnancy test?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am glad to help you clarify your questions. Whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy, as long as it is already pregnancy, the urine test will indicate a significant decrease in hCG levels, indicating a state of pregnancy. However, in ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants outside the uterine cavity. Typically, a surgical procedure to terminate the early pregnancy is required, because such a gestational sac cannot develop into an embryo and eventually becomes a fetus.
