Patient's question:
I am 37 days pregnant, and during a detailed ultrasound examination, a gestational sac was found in the uterus. The doctor asked me to take a urine test, which seems to be hCG, and the result was over 2900. The doctor said it was a bit high and that ectopic pregnancy could not be ruled out. However, after searching for ectopic pregnancy symptoms online, I haven't felt any abnormalities. Could it be ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
You are 37 days pregnant, and the ultrasound shows the presence of an intrauterine gestational sac, but how is it said to be an ectopic pregnancy? Recommendation: Generally, at 37 days of pregnancy, a blood HCG test result of 2900 is quite normal, and this cannot confirm an ectopic pregnancy. For the patient, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, the patient needs to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
