Patient's question:
I've had my period delayed by 5 days this month and it hasn't arrived yet. I still don't know if I'm pregnant. There are no symptoms yet. My husband said ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous. I want to ask what kind of symptoms it has?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy include:1. Abdominal pain: A dull ache in the lower abdomen, a sensation of needing to defecate, sometimes severe pain accompanied by cold sweat. During rupture, the patient suddenly feels sharp, tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
2. Menstrual delay: Before the fallopian tube pregnancy miscarriage or rupture, symptoms and signs are not obvious, except for short-term menstrual delay and early pregnancy manifestations, sometimes recurring one-sided lower abdominal fullness and pain. A careful examination may reveal normal fallopian tubes or swelling.
3. Vaginal bleeding: Usually a very small amount of bleeding.
4. Fainting and shock: Due to acute bleeding in the abdomen, it can lead to increased blood volume and severe abdominal pain. Mild cases may cause fainting, while severe cases may result in shock.
