Will the hcg level double in case of ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is something that every woman in the early stages of pregnancy is very worried about. Until the doctor confirms that the pregnancy is normal, they will continue to worry. Ectopic pregnancy directly threatens the life safety of pregnant women, and the baby of an ectopic pregnancy cannot survive, so it receives special attention from pregnant women. I believe that pregnant female friends know that hCG needs to be checked during pregnancy. Some friends with ectopic pregnancy are puzzled by the increase in hCG value found in the examination. So will the hCG value double in ectopic pregnancy?

Experts say that under normal circumstances, hCG will not double in an ectopic pregnancy, because ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy and the change in HCG value is relatively small. Ectopic pregnancy poses a great threat to women's life safety. Therefore, it is recommended that women diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy do not choose abortion easily, but should choose the most suitable and safest treatment method according to their physical condition.

For ectopic pregnancy, due to the thin muscle layer of the fallopian tube, poor blood supply, and very low HCG secretion, the hCG value of ectopic pregnancy increases less every day and less than 50% in 48 hours. (However, for some people, the initial HCG rise is normal.) If it is difficult to confirm with HCG, blood progesterone can be used for auxiliary diagnosis. It is generally recognized that the blood progesterone level of patients with ectopic pregnancy is low. Therefore, it can be used as one of the early diagnosis methods. The critical value is 63nmol/L.

Many women know that blood HCG tests can help diagnose ectopic pregnancy. I hope the above explanation can help everyone. In fact, pregnant mothers must have the right mindset. If they find out they are pregnant, they must follow the doctor's instructions to do prenatal checkups. If they find an ectopic pregnancy, don't worry too much. After all, today's medicine is more developed and can fully help pregnant mothers solve this problem. Therefore, as long as it is discovered, they must seek treatment as soon as possible, and going to a regular hospital to receive specialized treatment is the correct choice.
