Early signs of ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy refers to a pregnancy caused by the fertilized egg implanting outside the uterus. If the disease is not discovered in time, it is likely to endanger the life of the pregnant woman, so it is important to understand the early signs of ectopic pregnancy.

1. Vaginal bleeding

Vaginal bleeding is a typical symptom of ectopic pregnancy, which is caused by the death of the embryo outside the uterus. Patients often experience extremely irregular vaginal bleeding, and the blood falls in the form of drops. The color is mainly dark brown, and the amount is very small. Generally, it will not exceed the menstrual volume, but it is not clean.

2. Abdominal pain

95% of patients with ectopic pregnancy will experience abdominal pain, which is mainly caused by various reasons such as enlargement and rupture of the fallopian tube and blood irritating the peritoneum. It usually occurs suddenly in one side of the lower abdomen. The patient will feel tearing or paroxysmal pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, etc.

3. Diarrhea

Diarrhea is a common symptom in patients with ectopic pregnancy. It can easily be confused with indigestion or intestinal emergencies and should be taken seriously.

4. Menopause

Most patients with ectopic pregnancy have a short history of amenorrhea before the onset of the disease, accompanied by some early pregnancy reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, etc., and the pregnancy test is also positive.

5. Pale complexion

Patients with ectopic pregnancy may appear pale in the short term. People often describe their faces as pale as a piece of white paper. Most patients also have symptoms such as dry mouth, palpitations, chills, and fatigue.
