Patient's question:
I think I might be pregnant. My period has been delayed for half a month and I haven't come yet. Moreover, I am very sleepy and a bit picky about food. But there has been some bleeding down there, and my lower abdomen also hurts a little. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was an ectopic pregnancy. I can't believe it. Please ask: Will I still get my period with an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy include:1. Abdominal pain: Lower abdominal dull pain, a sense of needing to defecate, sometimes severe pain, accompanied by profuse cold sweat. During rupture, patients suddenly feel sharp, tearing-like pain on one side of the lower abdomen, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
2. Menstrual delay: Before the fallopian tube pregnancy miscarriage or rupture, symptoms and signs are not obvious, except for short-term menstrual delay and early pregnancy manifestations. Sometimes, a one-sided lower abdominal fullness and pain may reappear, and a careful examination may show normal fallopian tubes or swelling.
3. Vaginal bleeding: Usually a very small amount of bleeding.
4. Fainting and shock: Due to acute rupture in the abdomen, blood volume may increase and severe abdominal pain may occur. Mild cases often lead to fainting, while severe cases may result in shock.
