Patient's question:
I didn't have my period last month, and now it seems like I might be pregnant. Can a pregnancy test detect an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If a couple has sexual intercourse again without taking any protective measures and is still in the ovulation period, it may be pregnant after the menstrual period is delayed by a week. You can use a pregnancy test strip to check if you are pregnant, but the pregnancy test stick cannot detect ectopic pregnancy. You should have an ultrasound examination to determine if it is intrauterine or ectopic. In the early stages of pregnancy, pay more attention to rest and avoid excessive exertion. Do not have sexual intercourse in the early stages of pregnancy to prevent miscarriage.
