Can pregnancy test strips detect ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Hello everyone: I would like to ask everyone a question. If the result of a pregnancy test is negative, can it indicate that there is no pregnancy but also rule out ectopic pregnancy? Is the chance of ectopic pregnancy generally high?? How many days after intercourse does a pregnancy test usually give the most accurate result?? Thank you all for telling me!!! First question supplement: I have taken a pregnancy test twice and both results were negative, but my period has not arrived. It used to be very regular. It was supposed to come on the 10th, but now it has been delayed by 7 days. How many days after using a pregnancy test is the most accurate??

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy is one of the common acute abdominal diseases in obstetrics and gynecology. When a tubal pregnancy miscarries or ruptures acutely, it can cause severe internal bleeding in the abdomen. If not diagnosed and actively treated in time, it can be life-threatening. If it is ectopic pregnancy, it needs to be treated promptly and cannot proceed with normal pregnancy.
