Why does abdominal pain occur when a woman with ectopic pregnancy takes traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, I found out that my wife has an ectopic pregnancy. Yesterday, I brought some traditional Chinese medicine home. Today, my wife said her stomach hurts a lot. Doctor, what is the reason for abdominal pain caused by ectopic pregnancy taking traditional Chinese medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy cannot be blindly waited for at home, as it may lead to a possible rupture of the ectopic pregnancy or an intrauterine abrasion. Your partner's symptoms may indicate a rupture and abrasion of the ectopic pregnancy. Please do not wait at home and seek immediate medical attention. If internal bleeding is detected, surgical treatment must be performed immediately. This has nothing to do with traditional Chinese medicine. Taking traditional Chinese medicine offers no benefit in treating ectopic pregnancy, so there is no need to continue taking it.
