Can a blood test detect ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Lately these past few days, I've been having stomach pain, but my period hasn't come. I'm questioning whether it could be an ectopic pregnancy. Hello, can blood tests detect ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, blood tests cannot completely confirm ectopic pregnancy. It is necessary to carefully examine the color Doppler ultrasound of the uterine appendages. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of the blood tests and color Doppler ultrasound, it can be inferred whether it is ectopic pregnancy. If the abdominal pain is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination. Other treatments and solutions will be carried out based on the results of the careful examination. If the examination shows no problems, pay attention to preventing cold in the abdomen and avoid overeating cold foods.
