Will there be pain in the lower left abdomen with ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

The left side of the abdomen occasionally hurts. Does ectopic pregnancy cause pain in the lower left abdomen? What can be done to reduce the pain in the lower abdomen?

Doctor's answer:

If there is a vague lower left abdominal pain after pregnancy, it could be an ectopic pregnancy, or it could be the symptom of threatened miscarriage in normal pregnancy. It is best to have a detailed gynecological ultrasound check first. In case of ectopic pregnancy, there will be no gestational sac in the uterus, and there will be a mass and inflammation in the adnexal area. If it is a normal pregnancy, there will be a gestational sac and ancient heart tube in the uterus. At this time, it is necessary to rest in bed and receive pregnancy preservation treatment. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to decreased resistance.
