Patient's question:
Mother has had a previous ectopic pregnancy. I think the chance of me having an ectopic pregnancy is still quite high. Can an ectopic pregnancy test detect it?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation and development of a fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity. This condition is related to pelvic tissue organ inflammation and infection, not hereditary transmission. Ectopic pregnancy cannot be detected with pregnancy test strips. Before rupture occurs, ectopic pregnancy has the same symptoms as normal pregnancy. Early pregnancy test strips may show a positive result. The main methods for diagnosis include ultrasound examination and blood tests for HCG and progesterone to assist in confirmation.
