Know more about this test

The HCG Beta Total Quantitative, Maternal test helps detect the amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in the blood, preferably 10 days post conception. It is available at an affordable price in Thane with Tata 1mg labs. This test is commonly used to confirm pregnancy. However, it can also help detect abnormal pregnancies (such as ectopic or molar pregnancy), some tumors, and possible miscarriages. It is also used as part of a screening test for Down syndrome. 

Beta hCG is a hormone produced by the cells in the developing placenta during pregnancy. The level of this hormone increases during the initial period of pregnancy. However, after 6-7 weeks of conceiving, hCG levels are not very helpful for testing the viability of a pregnancy. Instead, an ultrasound is done to confirm the presence of a fetal heartbeat.

Understanding HCG Beta Total Quantitative, Maternal

The placenta produces the hCG hormone during pregnancy, making its presence in the blood a valuable indicator of pregnancy. This hormone is used to determine the age of the fetus and detect any abnormalities like ectopic pregnancies (when a fertilized egg attaches to an abnormal area), molar pregnancy (a rare pregnancy where abnormal tissue grows inside the uterus), and possible miscarriages. It can also be used as a part of maternal screening for detecting the risk of Down syndrome in an unborn child.

The HCG Beta Total Quantitative, Maternal test may be advised if signs and symptoms are suggesting:

  • Pregnancy
  • Ectopic pregnancy 
  • Pregnancy that is not progressing healthily 

This test is also used to check for possible pregnancy before surgeries or medical procedures, and it helps identify rare pregnancy-related growths called gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD).

Usually, no special preparation is needed for this test. Eat or drink as per the daily routine. However, talk to the doctor about all the pretest instructions. 

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to the doctor about specific test results. Narrate the complete medical history to help the doctor correlate your clinical and laboratory findings. The test results will help them determine the medical condition, make recommendations for lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise, decide whether or not medication will be required to manage the condition, and formulate an overall treatment plan. 

Health Tips for Early Pregnancy & hCG Monitoring:

🩸 Hormone Monitoring: The hCG test measures the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin, essential for confirming and tracking early pregnancy.

🥗 Eat Well: Focus on a balanced, nutrient-rich diet to support your baby’s growth and your hormonal health.

🚶‍♀️Attend Checkups: Keep up with scheduled prenatal visits and tests, including repeat hCG tests if needed, to monitor pregnancy progress.

🧘 Limit Stress: Practice yoga, meditation, or deep breathing for stress management, as chronic stress may affect hormonal balance and overall pregnancy health.

👩‍⚕️ Talk to Your Doctor (Consultation): Discuss any symptoms, concerns, or abnormal test results with your doctor for early intervention if needed.

🚭 Healthy Habits: Avoid alcohol, smoking, and medications such as hormonal and diuretic drugs, as they can affect hCG levels.
