Several common methods of detecting ectopic pregnancy

According to recent medical statistics, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in China is still not low, which is very detrimental to the health of female patients. So what are the methods for checking ectopic pregnancy ? Here are some common methods for checking ectopic pregnancy.

In general, the common methods for checking ectopic pregnancy are:

1. Blood test is the most common method for checking ectopic pregnancy. It can understand the levels of pregnancy hormones in pregnant women - human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and progesterone (P). If the level is high enough, it shows that you are indeed pregnant, but it is not as high as it should be at the current stage of pregnancy, then it is possible that you have an ectopic pregnancy. If the pregnant woman has not felt any pain at the time, then the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy cannot be finally confirmed as an ectopic pregnancy, and it is necessary to repeat the examination after 2 to 3 days to see if it is an ectopic pregnancy. After the reexamination, if the pregnant woman's human chorionic gonadotropin and progesterone levels still do not reach the level they should be, then it may indicate an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.

2. Vaginal examination. If you feel very painful during vaginal examination, or the doctor finds a mass in the adnexal area or thickening of the fallopian tube, it is very likely caused by ectopic pregnancy. This is also a common method of checking for ectopic pregnancy.

3. B-ultrasound examination. If the B-ultrasound examination can see the embryo in the fallopian tube, it is definitely an ectopic pregnancy. This is also a relatively effective method of checking for ectopic pregnancy, but in most cases, the embryo dies in the early stages of development, so that the embryo is too small to be detected by ultrasound. However, at this time, the doctor may notice swelling of the fallopian tube, and may also see blood clots and residual tissue in the embryo, but the B-ultrasound examination will find that there is no fetal sac or embryo in the uterus, which also indicates an ectopic pregnancy.
