What is the difference between biochemical pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy

We know that biochemical pregnancy means that the fertilized egg has not yet implanted. It has no symptoms of pregnancy. Moreover, after B-ultrasound examination, no gestational sac was found in the uterus. Therefore, there is still a big difference between biochemical pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy. The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are obvious, such as amenorrhea and irregular vaginal bleeding. The fertilized egg will implant somewhere outside the uterus and slowly develop into an embryo.

The difference between biochemical pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy

1. First, let's talk about ectopic pregnancy. Generally, ectopic pregnancy refers to the abnormal pregnancy process in which the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity. Tubal pregnancy is the most common. At this time, the patient's body will have some uncomfortable symptoms, such as abdominal pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc. There will be obvious symptoms, so if the patient feels uncomfortable, he should actively go to the hospital for examination. Moreover, ectopic pregnancy is similar to normal pregnancy, and symptoms of amenorrhea will also appear. After 35 days of amenorrhea, you can go to the hospital for blood tests or B-ultrasound examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

2. Biochemical pregnancy refers to the combination of sperm and egg, but generally the human chorionic gonadotropin will be secreted seven days after the combination of sperm and egg, and it can only be detected by early pregnancy test paper seven days later. However, although the combination has taken place, it has not returned to the uterus to implant. This situation is a biochemical pregnancy, and biochemical pregnancy will result in spontaneous abortion in the early stage, generally at five weeks of pregnancy. Moreover, the gestational sac cannot be seen during ultrasound examination, which will indicate that the fertilized egg has failed to implant. Moreover, the characteristic of biochemical pregnancy is that ZZY can detect weak positive, but it is difficult to reach positive, let alone strong positive. Therefore, biochemical pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy can be clearly distinguished, and appropriate treatment is needed to avoid more harm to the patient's body.
