Patient's question:
What is the reference value of blood hCG for ectopic pregnancy? Is the reference value of blood hCG for ectopic pregnancy similar to the reference value when pregnant?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. After conception, the hCG level rises. In the early stages of pregnancy, as long as this value increases, I would consider it possible that you might be pregnant. However, in the case of an ectopic pregnancy, the hCG level will never rise significantly and will not show doubling again. In other words, it will be much lower than the hCG level in a normal pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is also a relatively critical condition, so it's important to detect it early and seek treatment promptly.
