What are the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

After divorce, my period is delayed and I feel a bit nauseous, urinate frequently, and there's some discharge. I'm very upset. I suspect it might be an ectopic pregnancy. Could you please tell me the early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the most typical symptom of ectopic pregnancy may be irregular vaginal bleeding, which can be accompanied by the discharge of decidual casts or decidual fragments, caused by the detachment of the uterine decidua. Vaginal bleeding generally stops only after the lesion is removed. There is a unilateral lower abdominal pain. hCG blood levels are still within the uterine cavity around 50 days of pregnancy, and the implantation site of the gestational sac is not visible. You should not worry whether it is ectopic at this time. It is best to go to the hospital for a careful ultrasound examination. Ectopic pregnancy only refers to pregnancy outside the uterus, excluding cervical pregnancy.
