What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Hello, what are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? How long after getting pregnant can you usually find out if it is ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

1. Amenorrhea: Most patients experience amenorrhea for 6 to 8 weeks, but some patients have no obvious amenorrhea, or mistake vaginal bleeding for a normal menstrual period.
2. Abdominal pain is caused by a ruptured fallopian tube, often presenting as sharp, unilateral lower abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and a sensation of rectal fullness. If the rupture is severe, the pain can be excruciating.
3. Vaginal bleeding: Irregular vaginal bleeding is common, with dark brown, light flow, generally not exceeding menstrual volume, and often feels incomplete.
