Is the ectopic pregnancy test paper useful? It can only test whether you are pregnant

The progress and development of science and technology have not only improved our material level, but also brought great convenience to everyone's daily life. Pregnancy test paper is a common way to test pregnancy. For women in early pregnancy, if they are not sure whether they are pregnant, they can use test paper to test. Ectopic pregnancy is an acute abdomen with a very high risk factor. Early diagnosis and early treatment are the key. So, is ectopic pregnancy test paper useful?

Pregnancy test strips cannot detect ectopic pregnancy. They can only detect whether you are pregnant, but cannot confirm whether an ectopic pregnancy exists.
The abnormal pregnancy process in which the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity is called "ectopic pregnancy", and tubal pregnancy is the most common. There are often no obvious symptoms before miscarriage or rupture, but there may also be amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and a small amount of vaginal bleeding. After rupture, it manifests as acute and severe abdominal pain, repeated attacks, vaginal bleeding, and even shock.
B-ultrasound examination is the most accurate and reliable method to diagnose ectopic pregnancy. B-ultrasound examination can clearly see the location, size and shape of the gestational sac, as well as the embryo and fetal heart rate. It can determine whether it is a single pregnancy or a multiple pregnancy, understand whether it is a normal intrauterine pregnancy, and rule out the possibility of abnormal pregnancy.
The serum P level of ectopic pregnancy is low, but it is relatively stable at 5 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, and a single measurement has a greater diagnostic value. Although there is overlap between normal and abnormal pregnancy serum P levels, it is difficult to determine the absolute critical value between them, but serum P levels below 10ng/m1 (radioimmunoassay) often indicate abnormal pregnancy, and its accuracy rate is about 90%.
Ectopic pregnancy can be prevented. Women should choose a time when both parties are in a good mood and physical condition. If you are not considering becoming a mother, you should take good contraception. Good contraception fundamentally prevents the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, delivery and puerperium to prevent infection of the reproductive system. Determine the location of pregnancy as soon as possible after menopause to detect ectopic pregnancy in time.
