What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy mainly include abdominal pain, cessation of menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, etc. In severe cases, it may even be life-threatening. Once diagnosed, surgery is required in a timely manner.

1. Abdominal pain: Ectopic pregnancy mainly refers to the implantation of the fertilized egg outside the uterus. As the gestational sac gradually increases, it will cause local compression, which will cause symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, swelling, cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, etc. If not treated in time, rupture will cause tearing pain.

2. Cessation of menstruation: Although ectopic pregnancy is a type of pregnancy, it is also a type of pregnancy. During this period, it will cause changes in hormone levels in the body. The early symptoms are similar to those of a normal pregnancy, and menopause will occur.

3. Irregular vaginal bleeding: If not treated in time, it will lead to rupture of ectopic pregnancy, resulting in irregular vaginal bleeding, which is darker in color and less in amount. Decidual ducts or decidual fragments will be found in the blood, indicating that the placenta has died.

Under the influence of severe pain, it may even lead to fainting, shock, and a drop in blood pressure, which may endanger life at any time. It is recommended that women do a good check-up before pregnancy to understand their physical condition and avoid the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. After diagnosis, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time for surgical treatment to terminate the pregnancy.
