Can the doubling of hCG levels rule out ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can a doubling of the hCG value rule out ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, ectopic pregnancy is generally treated with surgery. Ectopic pregnancy can easily rupture, causing bleeding, shock, or hypovolemic anemia. Usually, pregnancy can be attempted again about a year after the surgery. After surgery, it is recommended to follow a light diet. In your case, it might be chronic pharyngitis, often accompanied by hypertrophy of posterior pharyngeal follicles. You can try gargling with bitter wine soup or decocting herbs like Qingguo (Chinese olive) or Fenghuangyi for a certain effect.
