After pregnancy, many women may experience some symptoms, and based on these symptoms, many women can make judgments, mainly to determine whether they are pregnant. But just looking at the symptoms is not enough, testing is still needed. But many people are worried about ectopic pregnancy and want guidance on when it can be detected. So, how long can ectopic pregnancy be detected?
Ectopic pregnancy can indeed be detected, and this time is generally considered to be around 40-50 days of pregnancy. Of course, the examination for ectopic pregnancy requires going to the hospital for professional examination to detect it. The simplest way to check is to do an ultrasound examination, which is usually around seven weeks of pregnancy. During normal pregnancy, the fetal heart and embryo can be seen in the uterine cavity at this time.
If a B-ultrasound examination around seven weeks of pregnancy does not detect fetal heart rate or fetal sprouts, but a urine test shows pregnancy, this situation can generally be confirmed. Of course, ectopic pregnancy can also be detected by HCG, but the sensitivity of this examination method is not very high. Relatively speaking, the accuracy of ultrasound examination for ectopic pregnancy is still very high.
The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are similar to those of normal pregnancy, but the difference is that there may be some abnormal symptoms, such as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. Don't worry if you find an ectopic pregnancy, just seek medical attention in a timely manner and do a good job in prenatal care.
