How does blood hcg change in ectopic pregnancy

The possibility of an ectopic pregnancy is not very high. First of all, you must first determine whether you have an ectopic pregnancy or an intrauterine pregnancy. If it has been confirmed that it is an ectopic pregnancy, then ectopic pregnancy also has indicators, but it also has certain value. Even if you already know you have an ectopic pregnancy, you may still be in for a surprise. Next, let's discuss the hcg value of blood in upper and lower ectopic pregnancy?

HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a "pregnancy test" growth hormone that is the best known and most common growth hormone used by gynecologists and obstetricians. It is composed of α and β dimers of glycoprotein. Little do people know that the α-subunit is produced by growth hormone in the anterior pituitary gland. The β-subunit is specific for HCG. The entire HCG is produced entirely by the germ cells that make up the embryonic chorion. Its key role is to stimulate progesterone, which is beneficial to the continued metabolism of estrogen and luteal copper, promoting the production of decidua and the perfection of the embryo. It is believed to be caused by the fusion of trophoblastic cells with somatic cells and syncytial somatic cells. It is rapidly promoted 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.

The initial diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy is mainly based on the blood HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test. Because HCG is a specific estrogen metabolized during pregnancy, β-HCG can be used to diagnose the rupture of ectopic pregnancy. The amount of HCG excreted by normal hair growth is very large, and the daily titer continues to increase rapidly, increasing by more than 66% every 48 hours. In other words, if the amount of β-HCG increases by more than 66% every two days, it can be diagnosed as intrauterine pregnancy; if the increase rate is less than 66%, the possibility of incomplete development or uterine pregnancy is very low. During pregnancy, women can accurately measure the increase of β-HCG during bleeding on the 9th to 11th day, and the β-HCG level can be increased by 2 times every two days (even if there is threatened miscarriage, the increase rate of HCG will not change)). For example, today is 234. If the measured life is about 450, then it can be considered a normal intrauterine pregnancy.

The above is a detailed introduction to the hcg value of ectopic pregnancy. In short, I hope that after reading this article, you will have a deeper understanding of ectopic pregnancy. Since it has been confirmed to be an ectopic pregnancy, it must be treated in time to avoid being unable to be treated later. If it is treated in time, it will not have any impact on pregnancy in the future.
