Patient's question:
My period started on July 6th, and by August 10th, it hadn't arrived yet, so I started to worry! I bought pregnancy test strips to take a test and found it was a faint positive. I was initially very happy and really wanted this baby. I planned to go to the hospital the next day to check if everything was normal, but since I was busy on the 11th, I scheduled an appointment for the 12th. Who knew that on the night of the 12th, I suddenly had severe abdominal pain and started bleeding again! The abdomen was very sore, and I felt like I had to have a bowel movement. I searched for a doctor all night but couldn't find one until 11 PM. Many nurses said it could be an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage, but in the end, I didn't get seen and had to go back! By then, the abdominal pain had already subsided!The next day, I rushed to the local women and children's hospital! The doctor didn't hesitate to give me an ultrasound referral, saying it was to check for an ectopic pregnancy. The report showed the following:
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Ectopic pregnancy has the following symptoms:1. Menstrual Delay: Before ectopic pregnancy, there is often a short period of amenorrhea or delayed menstruation by several days, with a positive urine HCG test.
2. Abdominal Pain: This is the most common symptom, usually located in the lower abdomen. It is often mistaken for menstrual cramps or pelvic inflammatory disease.
3. Vaginal Bleeding: The most common type is light vaginal bleeding after a menstrual delay. Some people mistake it for a normal period, but it differs from true menstruation, such as having a smaller amount of bleeding or darker blood color. A few may experience heavy bleeding.
4. Shock: If the ectopic pregnancy ruptures and causes significant bleeding that accumulates in the abdomen, the patient may go into shock,、。
