Patient's question:
On January 31st, the blood HCG test result was 100. On February 5th, I had an ultrasound. The doctor said there was an abnormal echo area measuring 2928 in the left adnexal region, a mixed-type small mass in the left adnexal region, and no gestational sac in the uterine cavity. Could you please tell me if this definitely means ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
hCG is 100, it must be pregnancy. If ultrasound shows the uterus is enlarged but the uterine cavity is empty, with a low echo area on the sides of the uterus, this image is not the sonographic feature of ectopic pregnancy. It is necessary to rule out the possibility of early intrauterine pregnancy complicated by an early corpus luteum. Using MRI to examine the gestational sac and fetal heartbeat is very important for diagnosing ectopic pregnancy. If pregnancy is located outside the uterus, it can be diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy. If the gestational sac is inside the uterus, it can usually be ruled out as ectopic pregnancy.It may be too early now, and the gestational sac has not yet formed. It could also be a normal early pregnancy. It is recommended to check at another hospital. For severe ectopic pregnancy cases, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not use medication blindly, as it may worsen the condition.
