Is abdominal pain without bleeding during pregnancy ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I've had my period delayed for more than half a month, and I also have a feeling of nausea and dry heaving. The abdominal pain without bleeding could it be an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you clarify this. In your case, if the menstrual delay recurs with abdominal pain for about half a month without bleeding, it doesn't necessarily mean it's an ectopic pregnancy. You must go to the hospital for a thorough examination, including a urine hCG test and abdominal ultrasound, to confirm the diagnosis. If pregnancy occurs again with bleeding, it could be considered threatened miscarriage. You should have regular follow-up tests and undergo treatment to prevent miscarriage. Rest in bed and avoid any physical activity.
