Will ectopic pregnancy cause HCG to double normally

  Pregnancy is a happy thing for a family. During pregnancy, women need to undergo HCG testing to ensure the normal development of the fetus in the abdomen. But not every pregnant woman is lucky.

Will ectopic pregnancy cause HCG to double normally1

  Many women may think that as long as their HCG doubles normally, they can rule out ectopic pregnancy, but in fact, a normal doubling of HCG only represents a relatively small possibility of ectopic pregnancy. To confirm that it is not an ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to cooperate with ultrasound to determine the location of the gestational sac. Of course, we should also be vigilant about the situation of simultaneous pregnancy inside and outside the uterus, although the probability is relatively small, it cannot be ignored.

  If diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, HCG generally does not double normally. Because ectopic pregnancy is not a normal pregnancy, the change in HCG value is relatively small. Generally speaking, the HCG value increases by less than 50% within 48 hours and cannot double. Ectopic pregnancy causes great harm to women, and appropriate treatment measures should be taken under the guidance of doctors.

  Therefore, early detection of ectopic pregnancy is a form of protection for women, and timely treatment can avoid any impact on future fertility. During pregnancy, HCG examination is essential as an important means of diagnosing ectopic pregnancy. Of course, if it is confirmed to be an ectopic pregnancy, women should not be too upset and maintain a positive attitude.
