Can ectopic pregnancy test strips detect pregnancy? It is best to go to the hospital

Ectopic pregnancy is a very harmful ectopic pregnancy. Once it occurs, the situation is very critical and needs to be treated in the hospital in time. Nowadays, with the continuous development and progress of medical technology, there are many ways to verify pregnancy, such as pregnancy test sticks, pregnancy test strips, ultrasound examinations, and blood tests. So, can ectopic pregnancy test strips detect pregnancy?

Test strips can detect whether you are pregnant, but they cannot detect whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. There are many ways to clinically check for ectopic pregnancy, the most common ones are the following:
1. Ultrasound diagnosis
Type B ultrasound examination is particularly commonly used for the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, and vaginal ultrasound examination is more accurate than abdominal B-type examination.
2. HCG measurement is currently an important method for early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.
3. Progesterone measurement <br/>The serum P level of ectopic pregnancy is low, but it is relatively stable at 5-10 weeks of pregnancy, and a single measurement has a greater diagnostic value. Although there is overlap between normal and abnormal pregnancy serum P levels, and it is difficult to determine the absolute critical value between them, serum P levels below 10ng/m1 (radioimmunoassay) often indicate abnormal pregnancy, and its accuracy rate is about 90%.
In most cases, early ectopic pregnancy can be diagnosed after medical history, gynecological examination, blood β-HCG measurement, and B-ultrasound examination. However, for some cases that are more difficult to diagnose, examination under direct laparoscopy can provide a clear diagnosis in a timely manner and surgical treatment can be performed at the same time.
