Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year. I don't know if I am pregnant. The test strips didn't show anything, but I have missed my period and also have some pregnancy symptoms. Please ask: What are the clinical manifestations of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
1. Amenorrhea: Before an ectopic pregnancy, there is often a short-term amenorrhea or delayed menstruation by several days, with a positive urine HCG test.2. Abdominal pain: This is the most common symptom, usually located in the lower abdomen. It is often mistaken for dysmenorrhea or pelvic inflammatory disease.
3. Vaginal bleeding: The most common type is a small amount of vaginal bleeding after amenorrhea. Some people mistake it for menstruation, but it is different from true menstruation, such as having a smaller amount of bleeding or a whitish color. In a few cases, there may be heavy bleeding.
4. Shock: If the ectopic pregnancy ruptures and results in significant bleeding that accumulates in the abdomen, the patient may experience shock again, characterized by fainting, confusion, and a drop in blood pressure.
