How should ectopic pregnancy be identified?

Patient's question:

I am 86 years old and my mental state has not been very good recently. I don't know what's wrong either. Please ask: How should ectopic pregnancy be judged?

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy, in addition to causing recurrent early pregnancy symptoms, also exhibits the following several very typical symptoms:
1. Menstrual Delay: Most patients have a brief history of menstrual delay before experiencing ectopic pregnancy again, accompanied by early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, etc. Pregnancy tests may be positive.
2. Nausea and Vomiting: Patients with ectopic pregnancy may also experience nausea and vomiting. Without careful analysis of the condition, it is easy to misinterpret these symptoms as indigestion or a gastrointestinal emergency.
3. Vaginal Bleeding: After the embryo nears death, irregular vaginal bleeding often occurs, typically in (spotting), dark brown in color, with a small amount—usually not exceeding menstrual flow, and it may be continuous and incomplete.
