What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Generally speaking, when a test tube embryo is implanted in the uterus during a woman's pregnancy, it is called an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is implanted at a certain point outside the uterus, it is called an ectopic pregnancy, which is also called an ectopic pregnancy in medicine. The most common location of ectopic pregnancy is the bilateral fallopian tubes, and rarely it can be seen in the uterus, ovaries, cervix, etc. It means that the test tube embryo did not implant in the uterus, but grew and developed elsewhere. Later, the bilateral fallopian tubes ruptured, causing internal bleeding. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy and deal with them in time. So what are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Abdominal pain: The patient has heavy or severe pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of defecation, and often sweats. If the wound ruptures, the patient will feel tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea and retching.

Amenorrhea: The early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are easily confused with normal early pregnancy reactions. If a pregnant woman experiences amenorrhea and early pregnancy reactions within a short period of time, and sometimes also has unilateral lower abdominal pain, and examination reveals that both fallopian tubes are normal and swollen, ectopic pregnancy should be suspected.

Vaginal bleeding: Patients with ectopic pregnancy may experience vaginal bleeding. It should be noted that ectopic pregnancy bleeding is irregular vaginal bleeding that occurs after the death of the test tube embryo. It is dark brown in color, small in amount, and generally does not exceed the menstrual volume. Bleeding is often accompanied by the discharge of decidual casts or decidual fragments, and the bleeding can stop completely when the disease is cleared. Bleeding during menstruation is discharged without decidual tissue.

Syncope and shock: Many patients may suffer from reduced blood flow or severe abdominal pain due to subacute bleeding in the abdomen. In mild cases, they may experience syncope, and in severe cases, they may suffer from shock, which is seriously life-threatening.

Other symptoms: Patients with ectopic pregnancy may also experience nausea, vomiting, frequent urination and urgency. Some patients may go into shock due to internal bleeding, becoming pale and having low blood pressure.
