How does ectopic pregnancy hurt?

Patient's question:

I just carefully checked and found an ectopic pregnancy. I'm really afraid of this being extremely painful. How does ectopic pregnancy pain feel?

Doctor's answer:

If a thorough examination confirms it is an ectopic pregnancy, it will generally cause pain in the adnexal area again. Initially, the pain will be dull and not very severe. If an ectopic pregnancy ruptures and bleeds again, it will cause acute abdominal pain, accompanied by vaginal bleeding. Even with different positions, the pain cannot be relieved. This condition can be identified through a careful ultrasound examination, which can reveal blood accumulation in the abdominal cavity and clotted blood in the posterior fornix. Emergency surgical treatment is required.
