During pregnancy, female friends may discover ectopic pregnancy during examination, which is quite dangerous and may cause heavy bleeding, as well as life-threatening situations. So once diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, women must take timely treatment measures. So, how long can ectopic pregnancy usually be detected?
After pregnancy, women can usually be diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy within 35 to 40 days. If there is no gestational sac present in the uterine cavity during ultrasound examination, it indicates that the woman has an ectopic pregnancy. Everyone should be aware that if the examination is conducted too early, the gestational sac may be too small to be detected by ultrasound, and ectopic pregnancy cannot be confirmed at this time.
When female friends successfully conceive, there will be significant changes in hormones in their bodies, such as progesterone and hCG, which will increase. If there is a slow increase or poor doubling of HCG, it may be caused by ectopic pregnancy, and ultrasound examination should be performed in a timely manner.
If a woman has been diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, she needs to receive immediate treatment. Doctors will develop treatment plans based on the patient's condition, such as whether they have fertility requirements, the location of ectopic pregnancy, etc. Nowadays, conservative therapy and tubal fenestration can be chosen for the treatment of ectopic pregnancy. If heavy bleeding has already occurred, surgery is needed for treatment.
