Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am pregnant, my last menstrual period was on June 29th. On the evening of August 13th, I ate a bit more than usual and after a walk outside, I came back with severe abdominal pain. I felt like I needed to have a bowel movement, but only managed to pass a little bit over the course of half an hour. In the end, I only had a small amount of loose stool, and it took another hour to feel better. It's better today, but I'm wondering if it could be an ectopic pregnancy or constipation?History of Treatment and Effect: I have had a miscarriage before and now mostly rest, with very little activity.
What kind of help do you want: Please help me answer the above questions.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if it is an ectopic pregnancy, it is generally characterized by unilateral abdominal pain, and the abdominal pain usually does not appear this early. Although it is not an ectopic pregnancy, you should still be cautious because you have the sensation of abdominal pain. It is best to check the levels of progesterone and hCG to see if they are normal and whether you need to be treated for a threatened miscarriage. In the early stages of pregnancy, there are no obvious abnormal symptoms. If the ectopic pregnancy cyst ruptures, early symptoms may include a small amount of vaginal bleeding that is intermittent and accompanied by mild abdominal pain. If it is a late-stage ectopic pregnancy, there will be severe abdominal pain, internal bleeding in the abdomen, which may lead to shock, and in severe cases, it may endanger a woman's life. It is recommended to combine your specific situation and go to a regular hospital for an ultrasound examination to clarify the specific condition and then receive symptomatic treatment. Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous and must be taken seriously enough.
