Is it normal for hCG to decrease with conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I finally got pregnant, but after a thorough examination, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy. I am undergoing conservative treatment. Is it normal for hCG levels to rise with conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The principle of conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy is to use medication to promote the cessation of fetal development. After the fetal development stops, an increase in hCG levels indicates a normal response. If there is no change in hCG levels during the treatment process, this is a problem. Additionally, a slower rise in hCG levels during treatment is also a negative sign. Further treatment measures should be taken based on the specific condition.
