How can I check if it is an ectopic pregnancy?

How should we check for ectopic pregnancy? When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, there are actually quite a few symptoms that can let you know whether you have an ectopic pregnancy, including amenorrhea or bleeding. These are the early manifestations of ectopic pregnancy. So what symptoms should women use to judge whether they have an ectopic pregnancy? Let me tell you how to distinguish them.

An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterine cavity, the most common of which is a fallopian tube pregnancy. Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy may not be obvious, and there may even be "normal" menstruation. Urine test strips are also inaccurate and may be positive, weakly positive, or negative. Blood HCG may be slightly elevated. The most accurate examination method is ultrasound examination. There is no gestational sac in the uterine cavity, but low-echo areas appear in the fallopian tube and other parts.

If the menstrual cycle is very regular, you can do a urine test within one week to ten days after the menstruation is delayed. It can be detected in the urine. If the urine test is positive, you can do a B-ultrasound examination. It may not be visible very early, so at this time, part of it may be discovered, but some part may not be discovered. If a woman's menstrual cycle is normal, but is delayed or the amount of menstruation becomes less, it is possible that she has an ectopic pregnancy. You can do a urine test as long as there is a change in the menstrual cycle.

It should be noted that after an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, the patient will feel severe abdominal pain and massive internal bleeding, and will experience shock symptoms such as pale complexion, rapid pulse, and decreased blood pressure. Under normal circumstances, an ectopic pregnancy ruptures around the 6th to 8th week after pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy rupture can penetrate the fallopian tube wall or miscarry from the fallopian tube fimbria to the abdominal cavity, threatening the life of the pregnant woman.

Today's medicine is constantly developing. In the early days, we could detect ectopic pregnancy through B-ultrasound, but the B-ultrasound images were not very clear. With modern technology, we can choose to use minimally invasive laparoscopic technology to help detect ectopic pregnancies. Continuous advances in medical care can better reduce harm to women.
