Patient's question:
The first time I got pregnant, my family and I were all very happy. But in the past two weeks, I've been feeling bloated and it feels like my period is coming. After that, I started having diarrhea. Since I'm pregnant, I can't take medicine, and eventually, the diarrhea got so bad that I couldn't even stand up straight. My friend said this is a symptom of ectopic pregnancy. I was emotionally deeply affected and couldn't accept this fact at first. Both my body and mind are on the verge of collapse. What kind of help do I need: Why does ectopic pregnancy cause nausea and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Patients with ectopic pregnancy will never have diarrhea. The typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are lower abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding. Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg goes astray during its journey and fails to reach the uterus, instead lingering in another place. Patients should take it seriously, as over 90% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes. Such fertilized eggs not only cannot develop into a normal fetus but also pose a danger. Don't treat yourself—go to a formal hospital for examination promptly. This is no small matter; early detection will minimize harm. In the early stages of ectopic pregnancy, medication can be used for treatment, but if left untreated for too long, surgery will be required. Please go to a formal hospital for a thorough examination.
