Ectopic pregnancy HCG decline rule

After pregnancy, women's hcg values ​​will also undergo some changes. Many women also find out that they are pregnant by testing their hcg values. Some women worry about the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs, they need to terminate the pregnancy. In order to determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, they need to look at the hcg value. So, will hCG decrease in ectopic pregnancy? What is the regularity of HCG decrease in ectopic pregnancy?

Regularity of HCG decrease in ectopic pregnancy:

If the ectopic pregnancy is treated by removing the bilateral fallopian tubes of the affected limb or by performing a traditional surgery, the window is opened for ventilation to remove the embryo and the gestational sac is removed relatively cleanly, the HCG value will decrease very quickly. However, the time it takes for each woman to return to the normal range is different, and it is also related to the square root of HCG before surgery. If the HCG value is very high before surgery, it may take a little longer to return to normal. If it was extremely low before, it may take a shorter time to return to normal. Some women may return to normal in a week, while others may need more than ten days, but generally it will not exceed a month. If it is still above the normal range after one month, you should further consider whether you are pregnant again or have left the body. In addition, if the HCG value does not drop below 50% of the pre-operative value on the first day after the operation, or if the HCG value does not drop below 10% of the pre-operative value on the 12th day after the operation, the possibility of persistent ectopic pregnancy should also be considered.

How does the hCG value of ectopic pregnancy change?

HCG is what we usually call "pregnancy test" growth hormone. It is composed of α and β dimers of glycoprotein. All hcg is produced by the transformed germ cells of the embryonic chorion. Its main function is to stimulate progesterone, which is beneficial to the continuous metabolism of estrogen and luteal copper to promote the formation of uterine decidua and enable the embryo to grow and develop perfectly. Appreciate rapidly during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy to maintain the pregnancy. After about 8 weeks of pregnancy, hcg levels gradually decrease until they are relatively stable at about 20 weeks. Therefore, the stability of hcg values ​​is more important for women to get pregnant.

The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy also needs to be determined based on further test results. Diagnosis method: First, B-ultrasound examination, through B-ultrasound examination to determine the location of the gestational sac, and at the same time check whether it is an ectopic pregnancy; second, test the HCG value again every two days. Under normal circumstances of pregnancy, HCG will double every two days, that is, your HCG value should be in the range of 500-1000 after two days, indicating that your embryo is growing normally and is not an ectopic pregnancy; if the HCG value rises or decreases slowly, the probability of ectopic pregnancy is relatively large, and you should pay attention to it. Of course, the actual situation still needs to be determined based on the inspection results.
