I'm a bit worried about the beta hCG levels during pregnancy. What should the levels be in a normal pregnancy compared to an ectopic pregnancy? Also, can beta hCG be detected in urine if someone has an ectopic pregnancy around 8 weeks?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In a normal pregnancy, beta hCG levels typically double every 48 hours, with average levels ranging from 50-300 mIUmL at 4-5 weeks, 1000-5000 mIUmL at 6-7 weeks, and 10,000-100,000 mIUmL at 8-12 weeks. In contrast, ectopic pregnancies often have lower and more slowly rising beta hCG levels, typically below 3000 mIUmL. As for detecting beta hCG in urine at 8 weeks of ectopic pregnancy, it's unlikely, as urine tests are generally less sensitive than blood tests, and ectopic pregnancies often have lower beta hCG levels.

View allI'm concerned about my breast size because they seem really small and it's been a bit of a struggle for me. I'm 28 now and I've tried massaging to help them grow, but it's just painful and hasn't worked for me. Can you suggest anything that might help?
If massage is not helping and causing pain, you may consider speaking with your doctor about the possibility of using hormonal therapy. One common medication used for this purpose is "Ethinyl estradiol and Drospirenone" in the form of oral contraceptive pills. The dosage and duration would need to be determined by your doctor after a thorough evaluation. Remember to always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I'm a bit confused and worried. I only took one sylate and now I've missed my period, and it turns out I'm pregnant. I don't get it because I thought all the days I was with my husband this month and last month were supposed to be safe days. Can you help me understand what might have happened?
Borderline Short PR Interval_ 1. _Definition*: A PR interval measures the time between the onset of the P wave and the start of the QRS complex. A borderline short PR interval is typically considered to be between 120-140 milliseconds. 2. _Causes*: A borderline short PR interval can be caused by various factors, including: - Enhanced atrioventricular (AV) node conduction - Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome - Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL) syndrome - Cardiac electrolyte imbalances 3. _Treatment*: Treatment depends on the underlying cause. If the borderline short PR interval is caused by an accessory electrical pathway (WPW or LGL syndrome), treatment may involve: - Catheter ablation to destroy the accessory pathway - Medications to regulate heart rhythm - Pacemaker implantation (in some cases) 4. _Worry level*: A borderline short PR interval is generally not a cause for concern. However, it's essential to consult a cardiologist to determine the underlying cause and receive proper guidance.

My wife just found out she's pregnant, and we're considering an abortion with medicine. Could you tell us which medication would be appropriate since we're not ready for a baby right now?
You can consider giving your wife a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol. These medications are commonly used to terminate early pregnancies. Please consult with a healthcare provider for proper guidance and supervision during this process.
