What are the methods to diagnose ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Didn't come to menstruation, used a pregnancy test kit a few days ago and it showed positive. We didn't do an ultrasound and thought we were pregnant, planning to have an abortion. But the day before yesterday, she fell from the stairs. That night, there was bleeding from the hospital. It wasn't much, but last night there was more bleeding and something was flowing out. Today, she went to the hospital for a color ultrasound. The doctor said the ultrasound showed everything was normal inside the uterus, and the urine test was negative, indicating no pregnancy. Could this possibly be an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The urine test results for ectopic pregnancy should also be positive. The bleeding may be related to adnexal inflammation, but the situation you described does not rule out the possibility of miscarriage. Does she have any discomfort? Is the absence of menstruation due to taking any medication previously? If you are not reassured, it is recommended to do a blood HCG test, as it can reveal everything. However, since an ultrasound was performed and the doctor said everything is normal, there should be no problem. Relax and stay positive. Do not be too nervous.
Additionally, during the treatment for ectopic pregnancy, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient should pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answers can assist you.
