Patient's question:
Can an ultrasound detect ectopic pregnancy? What diseases can an ultrasound detect? Is an ultrasound expensive? How much does it cost?Doctor's answer:
If it is an ectopic pregnancy, ultrasound can be used to carefully examine it, but it cannot be very accurate. Because in the case of ectopic pregnancy, the examination confirms pregnancy, but our gestational sac is not inside the uterus, it may be in the fallopian tubes or outside the uterine appendages. So in such a case, doing an ultrasound is only a means of verification, but it does not mean that an ultrasound can carefully detect ectopic pregnancy. Other examinations need to be coordinated. For example, blood tests show a decrease in certain blood parameters, and hCG values, except for progesterone, are relatively high.
