Patient's question:
Just finished the prenatal check-up with my wife. hcg 15000 could it be an ectopic pregnancy? I'm a bit worried that this value is not normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello, after conception, the HCG level dropped. In cases of ectopic pregnancy, the HCG level would never be below 2000. Currently, it is 15000, making the possibility of ectopic pregnancy unlikely. To confirm if it is ectopic pregnancy, an ultrasound can be performed to check if there is a gestational sac and fetal heartbeat within the uterine cavity. Individuals with ectopic pregnancy may experience abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy. Generally, the pregnancy duration would never be less than 2 months.
