The difference between menstrual bleeding and ectopic pregnancy bleeding

What is the difference between menstrual bleeding and ectopic pregnancy bleeding?

Abdominal pain caused by menstruation only causes swelling and pain in the lower abdomen, occasionally extending to the surrounding area, but ectopic pregnancy pain is when tubal pregnancy aborts or splits, pregnant women suddenly feel tearing pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If blood accumulates in the lesion area, it will manifest as lower abdominal pain on one side. If blood flows to the whole abdomen, the pain will spread to the whole abdomen. When blood stimulates the diaphragm, it will cause radiating pain in the shoulder blade.

Ectopic pregnancy bleeding is irregular vaginal bleeding after the death of the embryo. The color is dark brown and the amount is small, generally not more than the amount of menstruation. Bleeding is usually accompanied by decidual ducts or decidual fragments. When the lesions are eliminated, the bleeding can stop completely. Menstrual bleeding is not discharged by the decidual tissue.

Ectopic pregnancy is one of the most common gynecological emergencies, but because the typical disease of this gynecological disease is "atypical", it is often easily missed or misdiagnosed, which directly increases the potential risk of the disease. The cause of ectopic pregnancy, especially because many women are not aware of this disease, ultimately leads to a life-threatening phenomenon. Recommendation: If abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and other diseases appear after menopause, be sure to seek medical attention immediately.

Ectopic pregnancy bleeding is different from menstruation. It causes acute abdominal bleeding and severe abdominal pain. Mild bleeding can cause syncope and severe shock. The severity is proportional to the speed and amount of abdominal bleeding, but not proportional to the amount of vaginal bleeding. Menstrual pain rarely causes shock. It can also be observed that there is a 6-8 week menopause before ectopic pregnancy.
