If you’re not showing any of these symptoms, they may go through a series of diagnostic tests that include a pelvic exam, ultrasound or blood test.
Ectopic pregnancies can be diagnosed very early, especially if your doctor feels it’s a high-risk pregnancy and you’d benefit from early testing. Blood tests – where they test for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a pregnancy hormone – and ultrasound exams can help them identify where the pregnancy is growing.
Ectopic pregnancy requires immediate treatment
Unfortunately, once a fertilized egg implants itself outside of the uterus, it can’t move into the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy treatment depends on multiple factors, including whether or not the fallopian tube has ruptured, and the treatment options will include medication or surgery.
