What are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I heard that ectopic pregnancy can be severe, potentially leading to the rupture of fallopian tubes and even threatening life safety. I want to know how to detect ectopic pregnancy early through its early symptoms.

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy mainly include: abdominal pain, pelvic masses, and irregular vaginal bleeding. If you are pregnant and have these symptoms, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Most patients with ectopic pregnancy have a history of heavy menstrual bleeding or menstrual delay, and irregular vaginal bleeding. In most cases, there is no obvious heavy menstrual bleeding, but there is irregular vaginal bleeding—extremely small amounts of bleeding, spotting, dark red. A very small number of patients have bleeding similar to menstrual flow, and some patients have no vaginal bleeding.
