Patient's question:
Female, 33 years old, I have been living with my boyfriend for a year, and we have always used contraception. However, this time, my period hasn't come for two months, and I've been feeling a bit nauseous and weak in my limbs. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. Yesterday, I started experiencing abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was an ectopic pregnancy.Hello, what are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? What are the manifestations of ectopic pregnancy in the early stages?
Doctor's answer:
Early ectopic pregnancy, some people may experience typical menstrual delay again, while others may not show typical menstrual delay again, but instead have irregular and minimal vaginal bleeding, or even mild abdominal pain. If symptoms reappear, they may also include early pregnancy symptoms such as severe nausea and vomiting. Simultaneously, there may be minimal vaginal bleeding, or some people may experience abdominal pain, irregular cramping, rectal fullness, and a sense of needing to defecate. If bleeding occurs, these symptoms may appear. During laboratory tests, we will check a urine sample, which may show persistent weak positivity, and then test blood β-HCG.
