Is ectopic pregnancy bleeding first or abdominal pain first?

Patient's question:

It should be the 8th of the month for my period, but when it passed 4 days, I used a pregnancy test and it was negative. However, my period still hasn't come, and I was given some medication, except for Kangfu Yan (he said I had some inflammation and pelvic effusion). By the 21st, the test turned positive, but in the afternoon of the 21st, I had a few drops of blood. I immediately went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, including an ultrasound. But the ultrasound showed nothing. I tried the test again a few times, and it was still positive. The doctor said they couldn't see anything inside or outside the uterus and told me to carefully observe how much blood was leaking. However, I feel that the amount of bleeding is less than my usual period. Could you tell me if there's a possibility of an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your situation cannot be ruled out as ectopic pregnancy. Generally speaking, ectopic pregnancy cannot be confirmed based on the order of bleeding or abdominal pain. It is recommended to check blood hCG at the hospital for several days to confirm how you got pregnant and rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, during the treatment for ectopic pregnancy, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
