Ectopic pregnancy is a major health threat to women of childbearing age, and many women suffer significant damage to their physical health after experiencing it. However, ectopic pregnancy is an unavoidable phenomenon. In order to reduce the threat of ectopic pregnancy to physical health, it is necessary to actively investigate after pregnancy. Will ectopic pregnancy double the HCG value?
The growth rate of blood HCG can assist in determining ectopic pregnancy. As ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy, the gestational sac cannot obtain blood oxygen well, and the secretion of HCG is relatively low. Therefore, HCG will not double in ectopic pregnancy. However, there are also some women whose HCG levels increase normally in the early stages of ectopic pregnancy, indicating that blood HCG values cannot accurately determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy.
If you suspect that you have an ectopic pregnancy and your HCG growth rate is normal, it is recommended to test your blood progesterone levels. Women with ectopic pregnancy have lower levels of progesterone. If the progesterone level is below 63nmol/L, it indicates ectopic pregnancy. At this point, it is also recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination, which can show whether there is a gestational sac in the uterus. If there is no gestational sac, it can be accurately determined as an ectopic pregnancy.
After being diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to actively treat it. If left untreated, the gestational sac may rupture, which can lead to massive bleeding and is very dangerous. The methods for treating ectopic pregnancy are divided into conservative medication treatment and surgical treatment. It is recommended to choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.
