Is ectopic pregnancy bleeding considered an unsuccessful miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I had an ultrasound examination of the B cavity and found no adnexa. Later, the hormone test showed pregnancy, and the doctor said I had an ectopic pregnancy. However, this morning I had some bleeding but no abdominal pain. I would like to ask: How is a ruptured ectopic pregnancy considered a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy is a relatively dangerous gynecological disease. Therefore, in daily life, it is important to implement comprehensive prevention and control measures for ectopic pregnancy to reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy or prevent severe consequences. The symptoms of natural miscarriage in ectopic pregnancy are basically vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. Vaginal bleeding may occur again within the first 12 weeks of early pregnancy. Initially, the villi and decidua fuse with blood sinuses that open outward, which marks the beginning of the breakdown. When the embryo is completely expelled, the uterus contracts tightly, stopping the breakdown.
