Patient's question:
I have been quite worried recently. My period came on the 8th of last month, and on the 19th, a careful urine test showed a weak positive result, with blood HCG at 24 and 47. The doctor said it might be pregnancy. On the 22nd, blood HCG was 56 and 26, with progesterone at 31. What is the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
From your careful examination, the HCG increase is not very ideal. However, if the progesterone level is 31 ng/ml, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is relatively small, as generally a level greater than 25 ng/ml does not support the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you pay close attention to symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. You had your period on the 8th of last month and have been amenorrheic for 44 days. You can have an ultrasound examination to check the condition of the gestational sac. There are several treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy, but since the symptoms of the patient are different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, patients need to have timely and careful examination and diagnosis to provide symptomatic treatment.
