Patient's question:
I am pregnant and want to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up to carefully check if it is an ectopic pregnancy. How long does it take to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, if you are more than 40 days pregnant, you can go to the hospital for a detailed blood hCG check. If the value does not double ideally and rises slowly, and there is no visible gestational sac in the ultrasound, you need to be cautious about the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. Combined with clinical diagnostic symptoms, if there is bleeding and abdominal pain, it is best to go to the hospital for follow-up as soon as possible. Hospitalization may be considered if necessary to provide symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health.
