Can an ectopic pregnancy test detect pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy can also be detected by applying a pregnancy test, but most ectopic pregnancies are weakly positive with a pregnancy test.
The pregnancy test is not specific for the detection of ectopic and intrauterine pregnancy, and can only indicate that a woman is pregnant, and cannot accurately distinguish between intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy.
However, due to ectopic pregnancy, the activity of the gestational sac is low, so although you can use the pregnancy test stick to detect pregnancy, but most of them are weakly positive, even if the test a few times will also be weakly positive, there will be some individual ectopic pregnancy patients, the gestational sac has a high activity, in the use of the pregnancy test stick test will be presented as a strong positive.
It is recommended that after pregnancy, women should go to the hospital to improve the examination, dynamic monitoring of maternal blood chorionic gonadotropin changes, but also ultrasound examination, to help accurately determine whether it is a normal intrauterine conception.
