Will you get your period if you have an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I had a thorough check-up and found out that I was pregnant, but the doctor said it was an ectopic pregnancy. So, I wanted to ask, besides menstruation, what are the other symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

If you become pregnant, you generally will not have your menstrual period. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, irregular vaginal bleeding may occur again, accompanied by severe abdominal pain. This is a symptom of ectopic pregnancy. If you experience severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible for surgical treatment. If the bleeding is not heavy, conservative treatment can be used.
