Can ectopic pregnancy cause hcg to double?

Generally speaking, ectopic pregnancy will not cause hcg to double. Ectopic pregnancy is a situation where conception occurs outside the uterus. The hcg value is generally not directly related to ectopic pregnancy. Let us first understand ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy has a great impact on women's safety. The development of eggs outside the uterus refers to the process of abnormal pregnancy. Development outside the uterus is a threat to women's health. Generally, abdominal pain and other abnormal conditions will occur. Let's talk about what is going on.

For ectopic pregnancy, due to the thin muscle layer of the fallopian tube, poor blood supply, and very low HCG secretion, the hCG value of ectopic pregnancy increases less every day and less than 50% in 48 hours. (However, for some people, the initial HCG rise is normal.) If it is difficult to confirm with HCG, blood progesterone can be used for auxiliary diagnosis. It is generally recognized that the blood progesterone level of patients with ectopic pregnancy is low. Therefore, it can be used as one of the early diagnosis methods. The critical value is 63nmol/L.

(1) Doubling time: The doubling time of blood hCG in normal early intrauterine pregnancy is 1.4 to 2.2 days, while the doubling time of blood hCG in abnormal pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage) is 3 to 8 days.

(2) Comparison with other diagnostic methods: The positive predictive value of using a normal increase in hCG to exclude ectopic pregnancy is approximately 95%. Comparing ultrasound results and hcg concentration can also estimate ectopic pregnancy. When hcg reaches 1000U/L, vaginal ultrasound should be able to identify the intrauterine gestational sac. When hcg must reach 6500U/L, abdominal ultrasound can identify the intrauterine gestational sac. If not, ectopic pregnancy should be suspected.

(3) Continuous measurement: A single measurement of blood hCG can confirm whether a woman is pregnant. Patients suspected of ectopic pregnancy should undergo continuous measurement of blood hCG. If the blood hCG increases by less than 50% at an interval of 48 hours, ectopic pregnancy should be considered.

(4) Blood hCG levels: 85% of patients with ectopic pregnancy have lower blood hCG levels than those with intrauterine pregnancy at the same gestational age. 2.5% of normal intrauterine pregnancies have blood hCG levels lower than 95% of normal. Blood hcg levels may also be lower in women with spontaneous abortions at all stages. The blood hcg levels of the three overlap.

Experts explain whether hCG will double in ectopic pregnancy. Experts point out that when a woman of childbearing age becomes pregnant and is not sure whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, she can do an ultrasound examination to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. In order to avoid accidents, it is necessary to receive timely treatment after confirming that it is an ectopic pregnancy, so as not to miss the best time for treatment.

When this situation occurs, the first thing to do is to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. During this period, the first thing to do is to ensure eating habits and work and rest habits. These two points are very useful for your body. In terms of diet, you must pay attention to avoiding spicy foods, and then pay attention to protein intake, eat more vegetables, eggs, and fruits. Also, pay attention to sleep time and pay attention to your sleep quality.
