What symptoms indicate an ectopic pregnancy

Patient's question:

Originally, I had pelvic inflammatory disease. Later, I got pregnant accidentally, and it was said to be an ectopic pregnancy. Finally, after a thorough examination, I underwent an abortion surgery. A detailed examination of the from the uterine cavity also confirmed it was an ectopic pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Just like normal pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy can also cause missed periods. Patients often have a history of 6-8 weeks of missed periods, but some patients do not have a missed period history. Due to the rupture or miscarriage of a tubal pregnancy, most ectopic pregnancy patients may experience light, irregular vaginal bleeding, which is dark brown or dark red and appears in drops. Some patients may have no vaginal bleeding or bleeding similar to the amount of menstruation. Abdominal pain is the main symptom of ectopic pregnancy. Due to the rupture of tubal pregnancy, sudden, unilateral, intermittent, or tearing-like lower abdominal pain may occur.
