Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I would like to ask how long it takes to detect an ectopic pregnancy? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to know?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, under normal circumstances, after 40 days of pregnancy, a thorough examination using MRI can reveal a gestational sac inside the uterus. If the gestational sac cannot be detected through a thorough examination, it may be considered a possible case of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, most ectopic pregnancies can be detected after 40 days of pregnancy, but not everyone can be thoroughly diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy. If no gestational sac is observed inside the uterus after 40 days of pregnancy, further thorough examination is necessary for confirmation.
