Patient's question:
I am pregnant, but I often have abdominal pain, and I also had vaginal bleeding yesterday. What kind of examination can detect ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Through a detailed ultrasound examination, followed by a careful check of blood hCG levels, and a comprehensive evaluation of clinical diagnostic symptoms, it is confirmed whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. Previously, the menstrual cycle was normal and regular. Around 40 days of pregnancy, an abdominal ultrasound can visualize the gestational sac within the uterine cavity. If no gestational sac is found in the uterine cavity, it is necessary to detect pregnancy based on blood hCG levels. In ectopic pregnancy, blood hCG levels are not high and do not double well, and clinical diagnostic symptoms can be used for diagnosis.
