Patient's question:
What is the general probability of ectopic pregnancy? Is surgery necessarily required if one has ectopic pregnancy?What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? What are the consequences if surgery is not performed?

Doctor's answer:
After ectopic pregnancy surgery, the fallopian tubes may be damaged, which increases the likelihood of another ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you undergo regular check-ups to prevent potential risks. Pay attention to your body condition daily, especially when experiencing delayed menstruation.The most common symptoms of ectopic pregnancy in its early stages include the following points:
1. Abdominal pain: Lower abdominal pain with a sense of needing to defecate, sometimes severe pain accompanied by cold sweat. During rupture, patients may suddenly feel tearing-like 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 pregnancy symptoms. Sometimes, one-sided lower abdominal distension and pain may occur. During examination, the fallopian tubes appear normal or swollen.
3. Vaginal bleeding: Usually involves light bleeding.
