Patients with ectopic pregnancy must undergo timely examination

Among gynecological diseases, ectopic pregnancy is a relatively common one. This disease will affect the patient's physical and psychological health. If Ha Zi does not undergo timely examination for ectopic pregnancy, her condition may continue to deteriorate. Therefore, everyone should understand the examination items for ectopic pregnancy in advance so that they can cooperate with treatment as soon as possible. Let's take a look at the examinations for ectopic pregnancy.

Tests for ectopic pregnancy include:

(1) Pregnancy test When the embryo survives or the trophoblast is viable, the syncytial cells secrete hCG and the pregnancy test may be positive. Since the hCG level in patients with ectopic pregnancy is lower than that in normal pregnancy, the general hCG determination method has a low positive rate and a more sensitive β-hCg radioimmunoassay or monoclonal antibody enzyme-labeled method must be used for detection. This is one of the methods for checking ectopic pregnancy.

(2) When ultrasound is used to diagnose early tubal pregnancy, the B-ultrasound image shows an enlarged uterus, but an empty uterine cavity and a low-echo area next to the uterus. This image is not the sonographic feature of tubal pregnancy and the possibility of an early intrauterine pregnancy with a corpus luteum should be ruled out. This type of examination for ectopic pregnancy is relatively common.

(3) Posterior fornix puncture Since blood in the abdominal cavity is most likely to accumulate in the rectouterine pouch, even if the amount of blood is small, it can be sucked out through the posterior fornix puncture. Use an 18-gauge long needle to puncture the rectouterine pouch from the posterior fornix of the vagina. A positive result is obtained when dark red, non-coagulated blood is drawn out, indicating the presence of intra-abdominal blood. This is also an examination item for ectopic pregnancy.

The above mentioned content is the examination of ectopic pregnancy. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as the examination methods of ectopic pregnancy are combined in time, the patient can find the condition as early as possible, and then receive effective treatment. So please remember the examination items of ectopic pregnancy, which will definitely help the patient's condition. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
