Why does high progesterone eliminate ectopic

Nowadays, the biggest worry for pregnant women is ectopic pregnancy. During the physical examination in the hospital, if the progesterone level is high, ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. However, it is indirect and not a direct basis. Generally, 20 is used as a boundary. The following is an explanation of the relevant health education knowledge about the progesterone level and ectopic pregnancy of pregnant women.

1. Why does high progesterone eliminate ectopic pregnancy?

Generally speaking, a progesterone level higher than 20 NG/ML can eliminate an ectopic pregnancy. However, progesterone level testing alone cannot be used as a basis for ruling out ectopic pregnancy. This indicator only provides an indirect judgment indicator. In the early stages of pregnancy, when B-ultrasound cannot provide accurate tests, we can use progesterone value tests to rule out ectopic pregnancy. If the progesterone level is lower than 20NG/ML, we need to pay attention and wait a week or two to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination. If a fetal sac is seen in the uterine cavity and there is no obvious cystic substance outside the uterus, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out.

2. Early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy

1. Abdominal pain: If an ectopic pregnancy occurs, before miscarriage or bilateral fallopian tube rupture, the main symptoms are usually dull pain on one side of the lower abdomen or a feeling of soreness and distension, that is, pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of defecation, and sometimes severe pain, accompanied by sweating.

2. Amenorrhea: Before tubal pregnancy miscarriage or rupture, the symptoms and clinical signs are not obvious. In addition to the short-term amenorrhea and pregnancy manifestations, sometimes there is unilateral lower abdominal pain. During examination, both fallopian tubes are normal or swollen.

3. Vaginal bleeding: It is generally manifested as irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause, often bleeding. Generally, menstrual blood is dark red in color and in small amounts, so it should not be mistaken for menstruation. However, there are a few people who experience heavy menstrual flow, which can easily be confused with their menstrual period.

4. Fainting and shock: After the ectopic pregnancy causes the rupture of both fallopian tubes, subacute bleeding and severe abdominal pain occur in the uterine cavity. In mild cases, fainting may occur, and in more severe cases, shock may occur, with discomfort such as cold sweats, pale face, and panic.

The above is the general knowledge about ectopic pregnancy. Generally, the progesterone value is used as an indirect judgment. If it is higher than 20, it can be ruled out. If it is lower than 20, it needs to be paid attention to. If some abdominal pain occurs, you need to see a doctor immediately, which may be a symptom of ectopic pregnancy. Some people will continue to bleed, mistaking it for menstruation.
