Patient's question:
I previously had an ectopic pregnancy, and the baby was lost during surgery. This time, I was very careful and took over a year to prepare for pregnancy. I even went to the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination before getting pregnant. However, I am now under a lot of psychological pressure and constantly worry that it might be ectopic pregnancy again. How long can ectopic pregnancy usually be detected?Doctor's answer:
Generally, ectopic pregnancy can be detected around 42 days through a detailed examination, specifically via a B of the uterine appendages, which can clearly identify the location of the fallopian tube and whether there is a gestational sac. If the gestational sac is not observed in the uterus, the diagnosis is further confirmed by checking the blood hCG and progesterone levels, with a re-examination every 48 hours. If the hCG levels do not double normally, it may indicate ectopic pregnancy or other adverse pregnancy conditions, leading to this consideration.
