Patient's question:
I had my period on July 30th, and on August 30th, I tested positive for a weak signal. On September 9th, it was my 6th day of my period, which has already ended, and the flow was a little less than usual. On September 14th, I had an ultrasound, and there were no gestational sacs found either inside or outside the uterus. The HCG level was 1284, and the progesterone level was 3.15. Previously, I had some abdominal pain, and over the past two days, I've had a sensation of heaviness and fullness. I visited two hospitals, and one said it might be ectopic pregnancy and suggested hospitalization, while the other said it was more likely to be a miscarriage. What is going on? Is the HCG level normal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your blood HCG value indicates that you are still pregnant, but it cannot be confirmed at this time whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you have another blood HCG test and compare it with your previous results. After a few days, you can also have an ultrasound examination. The doctor asked: There are many treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy, but since the symptoms of the patients are different, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the patient as soon as possible so that the right treatment can be administered.
