Patient's question:
I doubt I have an ectopic pregnancy and want to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. I don't know if blood tests can be used for the examination. Can blood tests reveal ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
For blood tests, the main tests are progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). From these two hormones, it can be identified whether there is an ectopic pregnancy, and it is also a primary method for confirming ectopic pregnancy. If ectopic pregnancy occurs, the levels of these two hormones will not be too high, and they will not show doubling. Close attention must be paid. The main treatment methods are conservative treatment and surgical treatment.
