Can an ectopic pregnancy test paper detect it?

Patient's question:

These past few days, I've been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit. I want to use a test kit to check, but can an ectopic pregnancy test kit detect it?

Doctor's answer:

You have had nausea and vomiting symptoms these past two days. If accompanied by delayed menstruation, pregnancy is usually the first consideration. You can use a pregnancy test kit, but a pregnancy test kit can only confirm pregnancy and cannot rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy generally requires a careful ultrasound examination. It is usually necessary to perform a careful ultrasound examination after five weeks of pregnancy. If a gestational sac is visible in the uterine cavity, the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out.
