Patient's question:
How can you know if it's an ectopic pregnancy in the early stages? Do you need to go to the hospital for proper and thorough examinations? Will the doctor tell me?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy may not show any symptoms before rupture, or it may cause mild abdominal pain and a small amount of bleeding. If there is mild abdominal pain and a small amount of bleeding, you need to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound and blood tests to check for human chorionic gonadotropin. If ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, the doctor will inform you, as ectopic pregnancy is relatively dangerous and may lead to hypovolemic shock or even life-threatening complications.
