Patient's question:
This month's period didn't come, and a pregnancy test showed pregnancy, but it's a sad thing that it's an ectopic pregnancy. Can ectopic pregnancy be detected?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy generally cannot be determined through pregnancy test strips, as test strips are only used to determine whether one is pregnant or not. To diagnose ectopic pregnancy, careful examination is usually required from multiple aspects. It is advisable to have a blood hCG test done at the hospital. If the blood hCG doubles well and rises rapidly, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is generally not high. If the doubling is not ideal and accompanied by bleeding and abdominal pain, it is necessary to be cautious of a potential ectopic pregnancy.
