Ectopic pregnancy refers to the process of conceiving outside the uterus in order to give birth to a healthy baby. Pregnancy anywhere outside the uterus is extremely dangerous. Especially if the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube, the fetus gradually enlarges and the fallopian tube ruptures, which can easily lead to heavy bleeding. Hcg is an indicator for checking whether a woman is pregnant. So, how can we determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy by checking Hcg?
The HCG value of pregnant women varies in each cycle. If the HCG value of pregnant women rises very slowly and cannot double the next day, and the HCG value is lower than the HCG value detected in early stages, it is likely to be an ectopic pregnancy. However, specific confirmation still requires B-ultrasound testing, which can detect whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, it can also determine the position of the gestational sac.
If a woman is diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, she must pay attention to timely surgery. As the fetus grows larger, the pregnant woman will become increasingly dangerous. After ectopic pregnancy surgery, it is important to rest more, eat light and nutritious food, and avoid oily and spicy foods. In addition, ectopic pregnancy can only be prepared again six months after surgery, and pre pregnancy examinations should be done before preparing for pregnancy.
In general, it is important to take pregnant women's HCG levels seriously if they do not double. There is a high possibility of ectopic pregnancy, but accurately determining whether it is an ectopic pregnancy still requires B-ultrasound. Pregnant women who do not double their HCG may also be caused by molar pregnancy or poor embryonic development.
