Patient's question:
It is said that hCG can also reveal ectopic pregnancy. I just took a urine test. How to check for ectopic pregnancy with hCG?Doctor's answer:
After a woman becomes pregnant, the hormones in her body will change again, with progesterone being secreted. A positive result in hCG testing will indicate pregnancy. This way, it can be known that she is pregnant. Whether it is a normal pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy, hCG testing will show a positive result. From the hCG results alone, it cannot be determined whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. To confirm if it is an ectopic pregnancy, a detailed ultrasound examination is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
