What is the hcg value for pregnancy?

How much does hcg value express pregnancy

HCG is the general name for human chorionic gonadotropin. HCG test is the best pregnancy test at present! The general test methods include blood HCG and urine HCG determination. The test method is to check the β-subunit in the blood and urine to determine whether the woman is pregnant!

After a woman becomes pregnant, a significant increase in β-hCG in the blood can be detected from the 9th to 11th day, and the amount of β-hCG can double every two days thereafter. For example, if today's test result is 234, if the test result the next day is around 450, it can be considered a normal intrauterine pregnancy. Generally, about a month after pregnancy, that is, within 35 to 50 days, the hcg level in a woman's body will rise to 2500IU/L. This means that at present, when taking a pregnancy test, you can clearly see the high or low level of hcg to distinguish pregnancy. The test on 60 to 80 days can reach 8000IU/L, and the hcg value of twin babies will be much higher than that of one baby.

For ectopic pregnancy, because the muscle layer of both fallopian tubes is thin and the blood supply is poor, the hCG secretion amount is very low. The daily increase is less. The increase is less than 50% in 48 hours (but for some people, the initial hCG increase is normal). For example, if today's hCG value is 10, acquired hCG value is 15, and then 17, then the hCG value is abnormal. If hCG is not enough, progesterone levels can be used as a diagnostic tool. It is medically recognized that patients with ectopic pregnancy have low blood progesterone levels, so the progesterone level can be used as one of the bases for early diagnosis. The critical point of progesterone value is 63nmol/L.

What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy

1. Abdominal pain - It is a clinical symptom of ectopic pregnancy, with an incidence rate of 95%. It is often characterized by sudden tearing or paroxysmal pain on one side of the lower abdomen. Ectopic pregnancy is often accompanied by nausea, dry retching, and lower abdominal pain. Sometimes it is severe pain, accompanied by sweating.

2. Fainting and shock - caused by subacute bleeding and severe pain in the abdomen. It can cause dizziness, pale face, profuse sweating, thin pulse, and low blood pressure, leading to critical symptoms such as fainting and shock.

3. Amenorrhea - menstruation is several days to dozens of days past due, often occurring without detection. Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are often mistaken for normal pregnancy or irregular menstruation, and physiological bleeding may be mistaken for menarche, thinking that there is no history of amenorrhea, so you should be especially careful.

4. Vaginal bleeding - often bleeding. It is usually in the form of spotting, dark red in color, with a small amount, not exceeding the menstrual volume. Abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding is often a sign of test tube embryo damage and may also be the main manifestation of ectopic pregnancy. It is necessary to pay close attention and distinguish it from many aspects.

5. Other symptoms: Patients with ectopic pregnancy may also experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, frequent urination and urgency. Some patients may go into shock due to internal bleeding, becoming pale and having low blood pressure.
