Patient's question:
My girlfriend has a history of ectopic pregnancy. Her period is delayed by more than ten days this month. Can ectopic pregnancy test paper detect it?Doctor's answer:
When menstruation is delayed by more than 10 days, a test strip can be used for testing and examination, but it cannot determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. It can only confirm how pregnancy occurred. If you want to confirm the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy, further examination in the hospital is required, such as an ultrasound. You can choose between an abdominal ultrasound or a transvaginal ultrasound. For an abdominal ultrasound, you need to hold your urine, while for a transvaginal ultrasound, you do not need to hold your urine.
