What are the methods for diagnosing ectopic pregnancy? The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy varies from person to person. Most women have obvious symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, which are easy to diagnose; but some people have vague symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, which are difficult to diagnose, and the auxiliary examination results are contradictory. So, what are the specific methods for diagnosing ectopic pregnancy? Let our experts introduce it to you in detail.

What are the methods for diagnosing ectopic pregnancy? For cases with atypical clinical manifestations, doctors usually use some auxiliary examinations to help with the diagnosis. The three most valuable auxiliary diagnoses are pregnancy test or blood and urine HCG, B-ultrasound and laparoscopy.

Generally, patients should have positive pregnancy test and elevated HCG. For atypical or earlier patients, elevated HCG may not be obvious, and pregnancy test may be repeated, sometimes positive, sometimes negative. Sometimes, the instability of test reagents will also affect the accuracy of the test results. B-ultrasound examination is an indirect imaging examination. The typical B-ultrasound result of ectopic pregnancy is that no gestational sac is found in the uterine cavity, but a gestational sac is found outside the uterus. However, there are many factors that affect B-ultrasound, all of which will affect the doctor's judgment.

Symptoms and signs of ectopic pregnancy: Typical patients have a history of amenorrhea, which means that menstruation has not come after the due date. There is irregular vaginal bleeding after menopause. Sudden onset of abdominal pain, bloating, dizziness, pale complexion, decreased blood pressure, and even coma. However, some patients do not have a clear history of amenorrhea. These patients may have experienced irregular vaginal bleeding relatively early, which concealed the phenomenon of amenorrhea, causing patients and doctors to mistakenly believe that they had menstruation. Since there is "menstruation", doctors may not think of the diagnosis of "ectopic pregnancy". For ectopic pregnancies that have not yet ruptured, there is no sign of internal bleeding, and the patient may not feel anything abnormal, which also makes it easy for doctors to ignore the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.

In addition, laparoscopy is a relatively accurate method for diagnosing ectopic pregnancy, and it can also be used for treatment. Laparoscopy can directly observe the appearance of the fallopian tube to see if there are any abnormalities. However, if the lesion is too small, sometimes the laparoscope cannot see it.

The above is the specific method of diagnosing ectopic pregnancy. I believe you have already understood it and hope it will be helpful to you.
