Patient's question:
Symptom Description: I am pregnant now, but I always feel discomfort in my abdomen, with some pain. I don't know if it's a sign of ectopic pregnancy.``History of Treatment and Effect: I had a check-up before pregnancy, and it was normal.``What kind of help do you want: Are there early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? What are the general symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the gynecologist said that although ectopic pregnancy is not a normal pregnancy, it is still a pregnancy, so it also has early pregnancy symptoms, such as missed periods, drowsiness, and easy fatigue. However, ectopic pregnancy, in addition to early pregnancy symptoms, also has the following reactions:1. Vaginal bleeding is often a small amount of bleeding. It is mostly spotting, dark brown in color, and the amount is less than the menstrual flow. Abdominal pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding is often a sign of embryo damage. Generally, women do not easily associate this with ectopic pregnancy symptoms, thinking it is just irregular menstruation or gynecological inflammation.
2. Abdominal pain is the main symptom when the fallopian tube pregnancy is ruptured, with an incidence rate of 95%. It is often sudden, sharp, one-sided lower abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Lower abdominal heaviness, a sense of needing to defecate, sometimes severe pain, and cold sweat may also occur. When women experience these abdominal pain symptoms, they should not simply assume it is just a stomach problem but should also be alert to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
3. Fainting and shock: Acute abdominal bleeding can lead to a decrease in blood volume and severe abdominal pain, resulting in fainting in mild cases and shock in severe cases.
