Patient's question:
My wife had two ultrasound scans but didn't detect the gestational sac echo. The pregnancy test paper showed positive, and the doctor said the rise in blood HCG levels was too slow to identify, how could it be an ectopic pregnancyDoctor's answer:
When was your last menstrual period? Under normal circumstances, at around 5 weeks of pregnancy, a ultrasound can show a gestational sac in the uterine cavity. Before 8 weeks of pregnancy, blood HCG levels rise rapidly, doubling every two days. In your case, there is a high possibility of ectopic pregnancy, and the treatment plan should be selected based on the level of blood HCG. The treatment for ectopic pregnancy includes expectant therapy, aggressive treatment, and surgery. The daily treatment for ectopic pregnancy patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods. We hope that ectopic pregnancy patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
