How to diagnose ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I had a miscarriage a month ago. Because my husband restrained his sexual desire and we had sex, I became pregnant. But recently, I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable in my stomach. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was told I was pregnant. However, when I had a second thorough examination for the miscarriage, the result came back negative. I'm wondering if this could be an ectopic pregnancy. So, I would like to ask the doctor how to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

This should not be an ectopic pregnancy. A second careful examination may reveal residual blood clots that were not removed. In most cases, it is still necessary to perform a uterine clearance. Frequent miscarriages in a short period can lead to incomplete uterine involution, making it easier for residual blood clots to recur. As for whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, it can generally be determined through ultrasound and hCG levels. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
