Patient's question:
I had an ectopic pregnancy last time, and I'm upset that this time it's still an ectopic pregnancy. Can hCG detect ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy refers to a fertilized egg that implants outside the uterus, where sperm and egg combine. A simple test for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is not sufficient for an accurate diagnosis. This still requires a color Doppler ultrasound to see the implantation site of the fertilized egg to determine if ectopic pregnancy is present. It is recommended to have a color Doppler ultrasound promptly. Maintain physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
