I'm really worried because my left vaginal lip has been swollen for 23 days now, and it's really hard and painful. I can barely move, and now I've started to get a slight fever, feel dizzy, and even other parts of my body are aching. I'm taking mox500, crocin, and combiflame, and I've also applied sophramycin cream and candid powder twice. But nothing seems to be working. What should I do? Please help.

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?

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.
