Does ectopic pregnancy cause pain around the navel?

Patient's question:

Now my period is delayed by more than ten days. I have already taken a pregnancy test, and it is indeed positive. However, I am currently experiencing pain around my navel. Am I suffering from an ectopic pregnancy? Does ectopic pregnancy cause pain?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the pain is likely not caused by ectopic pregnancy, as ectopic pregnancy typically results in lower abdominal pain. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a few ultrasound examinations to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
Additionally, this condition could be due to gastritis or gastroenteritis, causing abdominal pain. It is advised not to expose the abdomen to cold and to pay attention to preventing cold exposure. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not consume alcohol. Gentle abdominal massage can help improve digestion.
