Ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation and development of a fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity, which is a pregnancy abnormality. Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous for pregnant women, and improper handling can endanger their life safety. Ultrasound can check whether the pregnant woman is pregnant normally and rule out ectopic pregnancy. So, how can it be diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy?
The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy can be determined by checking the level of HCG. Generally speaking, in the early stages of pregnancy, HCG will increase rapidly. Blood can be drawn to check HCG first, and HCG can be checked again the next day. The results of the two tests can be compared. If HCG levels double, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be basically ruled out. Of course, in addition to HCG examination, pregnant women can also undergo B-ultrasound examination. The judgment result of B-ultrasound examination will be slightly later than that of blood test HCG,
Under normal circumstances, pregnant women need to undergo B-ultrasound after about 50 days of amenorrhea, during which the development of the gestational sac can be observed. However, due to the different physiological cycles and ovulation times of each pregnant woman, the timing of seeing the gestational sac also varies from person to person. Some pregnant women may not be able to see the gestational sac after about 50 days. If this is the case, it is recommended to postpone the ultrasound for about a week before having another one.
If the pregnant woman still cannot detect the intrauterine gestational sac, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy should be considered. In addition to these examinations, there are also many other signs of ectopic pregnancy, such as early abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding in some pregnant women. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner and not endure it.
