Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and this month my period hasn't come. I've been experiencing nausea and feeling extremely tired, wanting to take naps. I used a pregnancy test and found out I'm pregnant. But lately, I've been having severe abdominal pain. If it's an ectopic pregnancy, what are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Patients with ectopic pregnancy often first experience abdominal pain. If you suddenly feel severe abdominal pain, you should be cautious as it may be caused by ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy may cause sharp pain and the patient may also experience nausea and excessive sweating, which are relatively easy to notice. Both ectopic pregnancy and normal pregnancy can cause women to experience missed periods. For women with regular menstrual cycles, if their period is delayed by ten days, they should undergo a pregnancy test.
