Patient's question:
hCG levels are related to every expectant mother. I am also an expectant mother. I would like to know how many hCG levels can lead to ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Cannot diagnose ectopic pregnancy solely based on the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). If there is abnormal embryonic growth and development or delayed delivery, the value may be low again. If you carefully check and find a low value, you can retest after 2-3 days. If there is doubling growth again, it is generally not a problem. If the growth is relatively slow, you need to be highly vigilant, as it may indicate embryonic arrest in ectopic pregnancy. Combined with a color Doppler ultrasound, a diagnosis can be made.
