Does ectopic pregnancy cause constant abdominal pain?

Patient's question:

My wife is 12 weeks pregnant. She told me she's been having stomach pain. Does an ectopic pregnancy cause constant abdominal pain?

Doctor's answer:

A woman who is 12 weeks pregnant is unlikely to have an ectopic pregnancy. If it were an ectopic pregnancy, it would be very difficult to continue to the 12th week. Ectopic pregnancy can indeed cause recurring lower abdominal pain and bleeding, which would make the body unbearable. It is essential to pay close attention to this issue. Regardless of the reason for the pain, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately for a comprehensive prenatal examination to check the physical condition and see if it is normal.
