Patient's question:
I have met an old Chinese medicine practitioner. He said that as long as the pulse is taken, he can't diagnose what illness it is. Can the pulse reveal an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, whether it's an ectopic pregnancy can be confirmed through a detailed ultrasound examination at six weeks of pregnancy. The ultrasound examination is quite vivid and intuitive. Traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound. In the case of ectopic pregnancy, an experienced doctor can remove it through pulse-taking, but generally, doctors do not have such capabilities. Is it an ectopic pregnancy? It is still recommended to undergo a detailed ultrasound examination. It cannot be diagnosed solely based on pulse-taking, as there is a certain margin of error.
