Patient's question:
Last week, I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy at the hospital. What is the reason for the slower decline of hCG in ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if a hospital test result is concerning about ectopic pregnancy, it is usually detected through a careful ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages. If a gestational sac is observed outside the uterus, in addition to this, the levels of blood hCG and progesterone are significantly insufficient and not showing normal doubling, this can preliminarily suggest the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Based on the above conditions, it can be inferred to predict the probability and risk of a potential recurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
