Patient's question:
On August 15th, a weak positive result was detected in the urine, indicating early pregnancy. On the afternoon of August 16th, there was slight spotting. On August 17th, the HCG level was measured at 122.5, and the progesterone level was 9.60. On August 19th, the HCG level was measured at 55.58, and the progesterone level was 6.73. Hello, what is going on? Is this a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Have you had an ultrasound? If it's an ectopic pregnancy, an ultrasound usually detects it. The possibility of ectopic pregnancy in your case is unlikely. Your condition should be considered a missed miscarriage in traditional Chinese medicine, while in Western medicine, it should be classified as biochemical pregnancy. If this is the only occurrence, there's no need to worry about it. There are many treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
