How to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy or menstruation?

Patient's question:

This month, my menstrual period appeared to be delayed again. Just when I thought I might be pregnant, there was also a recurrence of vaginal skin breakdown. I'm now unsure whether it's an ectopic pregnancy or just my period. For this reason, I want to consult specifically to understand how to determine whether it's an ectopic pregnancy or my period.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is possible for the recurrence of ectopic pregnancy to be accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, the reappearance of lumps in the lower abdomen, and pain induced by menstruation. The likelihood of experiencing pain and lumps due to menstruation is relatively low in this case. It is important to visit the hospital for further examination and diagnosis based on your actual condition at irregular intervals. Timely treatment based on the examination results is relatively safe. Do not be anxious, and carefully monitor your symptoms and adjust accordingly.
