Is stomach pain in the early stages of pregnancy a sign of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I want to ask, is it an ectopic pregnancy if the lower abdomen hurts in the early stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, abdominal pain has reappeared, which cannot be ruled out as symptoms caused by ectopic pregnancy. If abdominal pain recurs, a careful examination may reveal broken skin at the vaginal opening. Blood tests for hCG can be performed under the guidance of a doctor, and further ultrasound examination is needed to confirm the presence of an intrauterine gestational sac. If no gestational sac is found in the uterus, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is relatively high, and it is necessary to undergo timely examination.
