What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Now I am 1 month pregnant, but the situation of my abdomen is not very normal. I suspect it might be an ectopic pregnancy. What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The clinical diagnostic symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are:
1. History of missed periods (80% of patients have missed periods, while 20% do not);
2. Lower abdominal pain (prevalence rate of 90%);
3. Vaginal bleeding;
4. Fainting or shock;
5. Pelvic masses.
If ectopic pregnancy is suspected, it is highly recommended to seek immediate medical attention at a formal hospital's gynecology and obstetrics department. Further confirmation is needed through blood hCG testing and gynecological ultrasound.
If ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, hospitalization and timely treatment are required.
