Will continuous spotting be a sign of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I had a previous ectopic pregnancy, and the menstrual condition was the same as now. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said the fetus was already dying and gradually dissolving. I had a tubal hydrotubation one month ago. The menstruation has been continuous and incomplete. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

I don't know how you used contraception during cohabitation. If no measures were taken, it is possible that there could be an ectopic pregnancy. In the early stages of ectopic pregnancy, symptoms may include abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. Your current situation is that your menstruation is much heavier than usual. If you haven't used contraception, it could be possible that you have an ectopic pregnancy, but this cannot be diagnosed based on this alone. It is recommended to use an early pregnancy test kit or check your blood HCG levels at the hospital. Only if the HCG level is indeed elevated could it be a possibility of ectopic pregnancy. In fact, having an ectopic pregnancy is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
