Does ectopic pregnancy hurt when pressed?

Patient's question:

My stomach has been aching a bit these days, especially when pressed—it's almost unbearable. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? Does ectopic pregnancy cause pain with light pressure?

Doctor's answer:

After getting pregnant, the first step is to go to the hospital for a detailed ultrasound examination to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy before focusing on the pregnancy. Once a fetal heartbeat is detected, you can establish a medical record and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. However, if ectopic pregnancy is suspected, it may be necessary to terminate the early pregnancy. The treatment plan should be chosen based on the combined results of blood hCG and ultrasound findings. Because ectopic pregnancy carries the risk of a cyst rupture at any time, which is quite dangerous, treatment must be implemented based on the specific circumstances.
