Can ectopic pregnancy cause back pain?

Patient's question:

A month ago, I just had an ectopic pregnancy surgery. For the past two days, my back has been hurting in intervals. Hello, does ectopic pregnancy cause back pain?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, ectopic pregnancy will never cause back pain. Ectopic pregnancy is usually characterized by pain in the lower abdomen. Before rupture, the pain is usually dull and intermittent. When rupture occurs, sharp pain may reappear, primarily located in the center of the lower abdomen or on both sides of the lower abdomen. It will never cause back pain. If back pain occurs, it may be related to other factors. The above information can be used for reference.
