What is the hcg value and what is an ectopic pregnancy?

Hcg, also known as human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone produced by the trophoblast of the fertilized egg after pregnancy. These hormones are usually produced about 7 days after fertilization.

So what is the hcg value?

The hcg value has little to do with ectopic pregnancy. The hcg value of ectopic pregnancy is generally the same as that of intrauterine pregnancy, because only the implantation site of the fertilized egg is different, and the early development of the fertilized egg is also the same. Clinically, doctors will make certain judgments based on hcg; if hcg doubles slowly or decreases in early pregnancy, it is inferred that the embryo quality is poor; at this time, there is also the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

However, if blood HCG is monitored in early pregnancy and the increase in 48 hours is less than 66%, it indicates a high possibility of ectopic pregnancy. In the early stage of normal pregnancy, HCG stimulates the corpus luteum, which is conducive to the continuous secretion of estrogen and progesterone, promotes the formation of uterine decidua, and makes the placenta grow and mature. The amount of HCG is very large and rises rapidly every day. If it rises by more than 66% every 48 hours, it can be diagnosed as intrauterine pregnancy. If there is a clear history of menopause, HCG has not doubled. There is also abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. In addition to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for color Doppler ultrasound examination in time.
