Abstract

In the last decade, the widespread use of transvaginal ultrasound and the availability of highly specific serum assays of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) have become mainstays in the evaluation of early pregnancy. These tests have revolutionized the management of pregnancies of unknown location and markedly reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with the misdiagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. However, despite several advances, their misuse and misinterpretations are still common, leading to an increased use of healthcare resources, patient misinformation, and anxiety. This narrative review aims to succinctly summarize the β-hCG dynamics in early gestation and provide general gynecologists a practical approach to patients with first-trimester symptomatic pregnancy.

早期妊娠事件中的β-人绒毛膜促性腺激素动态:实用和最新的重新评估。
近十年来,经阴道超声波的广泛应用和高特异性的人类绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)血清检测已成为评估早孕的主要方法。这些检测彻底改变了对位置不明妊娠的管理,并显著降低了因误诊宫外孕而导致的发病率和死亡率。然而,尽管取得了一些进步,这些检测方法的误用和误解仍很常见,导致医疗资源的使用增加、患者被误导和焦虑。这篇叙述性综述旨在简明扼要地总结妊娠早期β-hCG的动态变化,为普通妇科医生提供一种实用的方法来处理第一胎无症状妊娠患者。
