Patient's question:
Recently got pregnant, not sure if I have an ectopic pregnancy. I want to ask when does the pain from an ectopic pregnancy usually start?Doctor's answer:
Pain from ectopic pregnancy needs to be chosen based on the location where the fertilized egg implants. Ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants and grows outside the normal uterine cavity. Tubal pregnancy is most common, but it can also include early pregnancy, cervical location, and abdominal pregnancy. The timing of recurrence of pain and bleeding depends on the implantation location of the fertilized egg. If you miss your period during the menstrual cycle, you should first undergo a check-up to diagnose whether you are pregnant and rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
