Patient's question:
I want to ask the doctor, what are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? How can it be quickly determined?Doctor's answer:
Early ectopic pregnancy usually doesn't have any noticeable symptoms. It's only after two or three months that, due to the reduced size of the ectopic embryo and the local rupture or impending rupture, abdominal pain may reappear. Therefore, it's best to visit the hospital for a check-up promptly after confirming pregnancy. The main tests to perform are checking the levels of hCG and progesterone in the blood. As long as these two values are within the normal range, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be largely ruled out.
