Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, really very sad. Waited so long to get pregnant, but after getting pregnant, there has been irregular bleeding. Moreover, suddenly had stomach and leg pain and fainted. When checked at the hospital, it was an ectopic pregnancy, and it had ruptured, almost endangering her life. Thinking about it is still frightening. Please ask: Does a person with an ectopic pregnancy have a menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
Generally, ectopic pregnancy has three typical symptoms: amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding. Due to the less obvious symptoms and signs of amenorrhea, it may be overlooked by some patients. Moreover, the absence of menstruation in ectopic pregnancy women may be confused with vaginal bleeding. However, the typical vaginal bleeding symptom of ectopic pregnancy may occur during the menstrual period, leading some women to mistakenly believe it is the onset of menstruation.
