Will ectopic pregnancy still have periods?

Patient's question:

Will I still get my period if I have an ectopic pregnancy? A few days ago, I was carefully diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, and I don't know if it will affect my menstrual cycle.

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy will never result in menstruation. If there is an ectopic pregnancy, there may be vaginal bleeding, but this bleeding is not menstruation; it is caused by the ectopic pregnancy. In the early stages, there may be no abnormal symptoms, but as it progresses, there may be lower abdominal pain, which could be unilateral. If you have carefully examined and confirmed that it is an ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended to consider hospitalization for treatment for safety.
