How does an ectopic pregnancy hurt?

Patient's question:

I just heard that my relative has an ectopic pregnancy and it hurts a lot. Hello, how does this ectopic pregnancy hurt?

Doctor's answer:

When ectopic pregnancy has not ruptured, it is usually characterized by a dull, intermittent abdominal pain that is not too severe. However, once it ruptures, it may cause sharp, tearing-like pain. However, clinical symptoms can vary from person to person. If there is a history of missed periods, bleeding, and abdominal pain, it is necessary to consider visiting a hospital for a thorough blood hCG test, combined with a color Doppler ultrasound examination, for comprehensive analysis and accurate diagnosis, followed by appropriate treatment.
