Q&A

Answered by Dr. Shruti Kainth Kaushal

I am 28. Can hCG detect early pregnancy when pain is present?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As I have gone through the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), the results are absolutely normal and indicating a healthy pregnancy. As the values have doubled, you need not worry. In ectopic pregnancy, beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) values will never rise more than 66 percent. Did you have any ultrasounds done to date? I suggest progesterone tablets and this will reduce the vague abdominal pain.

You have your ovarian structure disturbed that is why your cycle is irregular.

What can cause irregular menstrual bleeding?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As per your history, it appears that you are having abnormal uterine bleeding and the cause can be many. As you told that you are diabetic, I would advise you to get a transvaginal scan first and followed by endometrial sampling to rule out the cause. In your case of irregular bleeding my suspicion goes for hormonal disturbance. Please revert back after ultrasound for endometrial thickness.
