How long does it usually take to detect an ectopic pregnancy?

Most ectopic pregnancies are found between 6 and 8 weeks of gestation, and the fertilized egg lays outside the body of the uterus. The typical clinical manifestations are menopause, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, called the triad of ectopic pregnancy, and patients also come to the hospital because of these three symptoms. Most patients have a history of menopause of 6-8 weeks, but in the case of interstitial tubal pregnancy, the menopause may be longer. In addition, 20-30% of patients will treat the irregular bleeding of an ectopic pregnancy as menstruation without a significant history of menopause. Therefore, patients with a history of menopause should come to the hospital promptly for examination to determine an intrauterine pregnancy and to rule out ectopic pregnancy. Another is abdominal pain. If abdominal pain is present, you should go to the hospital promptly for examination. If there are symptoms of vaginal bleeding, mostly irregular vaginal bleeding, you must be alert to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
