How to check for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
After trying to conceive for four years, I finally got pregnant, but I'm afraid it might be an ectopic pregnancy. How can ectopic pregnancy be checked carefully?

Doctor's answer:

You are pregnant now. If you want to rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy, you can have a detailed ultrasound examination at a local hospital after five weeks of pregnancy. Combine blood tests for hCG and progesterone. If a gestational sac is visible in the uterine cavity, it is generally possible to rule out ectopic pregnancy. At the same time, you can have regular prenatal check-ups under the guidance of a doctor, take folic acid tablets to prevent the recurrence of fetal neural tube defects, and pay attention to rest to avoid overexertion.
