Will ectopic pregnancy cause a missed period?

Patient's question:

A colleague had an ectopic pregnancy when she was pregnant. She said she only discovered it after a thorough examination. Hello, can ectopic pregnancy cause a missed period?

Doctor's answer:

If there is an ectopic pregnancy, it is also considered pregnancy. After pregnancy, menstruation will never occur again, and the symptom of amenorrhea will reappear. However, during a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy, severe abdominal pain will reappear, along with the symptom of bleeding. At this time, it is necessary to treat the symptoms promptly with medication based on the results. If the condition is not severe, it can be controlled with medication. If the bleeding is significant, surgical treatment should be performed promptly.
