Does ectopic pregnancy bleeding have blood clots?

Patient's question:

Will there be blood clots if the ectopic pregnancy ruptures? How is the rupture of ectopic pregnancy caused? What should be done if the ectopic pregnancy ruptures?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if there is a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, in addition to blood clots, there will also be a kind of blood that is similar to fresh red blood. The rupture caused by ectopic pregnancy usually results in non-coagulable blood being drawn from the posterior fornix. If it flows out from the vagina, the majority of it is non-coagulable, while a small portion may produce blood clots. Therefore, confirming ectopic pregnancy is not based on bleeding. A thorough examination and diagnosis are necessary. If diagnosed, strict treatment or surgical removal is required.
