Can the ectopic pregnancy test paper detect it?

I believe everyone is familiar with the disease of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a common gynecological disease. The occurrence of ectopic pregnancy will not only cause symptoms of dysmenorrhea and vaginal bleeding in female friends, but also may cause female friends to faint. Therefore, we recommend that female friends must do a good job of preventing ectopic pregnancy in their daily lives. Below we will introduce whether ectopic pregnancy test paper can detect it.

Can ectopic pregnancy be detected with test strips? This is a question that many people are concerned about. Experts say that early pregnancy test strips are not omnipotent. They can only detect whether you are pregnant, but cannot detect ectopic pregnancy. As for ectopic pregnancy, the best diagnostic method now is to check through B-ultrasound.

Early pregnancy test strips can only confirm whether you are pregnant, but cannot determine the type of pregnancy, that is, it cannot determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy.

The early pregnancy test strip tests the HCG hormone in the urine. HCG is produced by trophoblast cells and is a hormone unique to pregnant women. It will not be detected in the urine of non-pregnant women. If HCG hormone exists in the urine, the early pregnancy test strip will show a positive reaction. The early pregnancy test strip determines whether you are pregnant by detecting the presence of this hormone.

The incidence of ectopic pregnancy has been very high in recent years. In order to ensure the safety of women, the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy needs to be confirmed after a B-ultrasound in the hospital. It is necessary to see whether the gestational sac is implanted in the uterus to make a diagnosis. If people know that they are pregnant through self-testing but are not sure whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm the diagnosis.

In addition, pregnancy tests are not 100% accurate. For example, a positive reaction may also occur in pathological conditions such as ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole or choriocarcinoma. Moreover, although early pregnancy test strips are said to have an accuracy rate of 99%, without the guidance of a doctor, the test results are generally only 50%-75% accurate. Therefore, not only can early pregnancy test strips not determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, but sometimes they cannot even accurately determine whether you are pregnant.
