Will I have menstruation if I have ectopic pregnancy?

There are many types of gynecological diseases, including ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy will directly threaten the health of patients. There are many ways for women to judge whether they are pregnant, such as observing whether the menstruation is abnormal, using pregnancy test sticks or going to the hospital for blood tests, etc. B-ultrasound examination can timely determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. So, will ectopic pregnancy cause menstruation?

First, will menstruation occur during an ectopic pregnancy? The typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are vaginal bleeding after menstruation and lower abdominal pain. Women will stop menstruating after conception, but ectopic pregnancy is a manifestation of abnormal pregnancy and menstruation will not occur. Under normal circumstances, ectopic pregnancy will also cause abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, but it is not as much blood as during menstruation, so sometimes ectopic pregnancy is misdiagnosed as menstruation. If a pregnant woman experiences abnormal vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain 6-8 weeks after menopause, it is necessary to consider whether an ectopic pregnancy has occurred. It is recommended to check for ectopic pregnancy in the early stages of pregnancy, and if there is bleeding, you should go to the hospital in time.

Second, many patients may think that the bleeding caused by ectopic pregnancy is menstruation. So what is the difference between menstruation and ectopic pregnancy bleeding? Menstrual bleeding: Under normal circumstances, a menstrual cycle is about 28 days. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual period is 3 to 7 days. The color of menstruation is mostly dark red. The menstruation is neither thin nor thick, without blood clots and odor. Ectopic pregnancy bleeding: Termination of fallopian tube pregnancy will change the endocrine system and cause drop-like dark brown blood to flow out of the vagina. If the fallopian tube ruptures, the amount of bleeding will increase and the blood will be bright red, but it is mostly internal bleeding and rarely will flow out of the vagina.

Third, ectopic pregnancy refers to an ectopic pregnancy in which the embryo implants outside the uterus. It often occurs in fallopian tube pregnancy and will present with symptoms such as a history of amenorrhea, vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and discomfort. The time of the last menstrual period, symptoms, HCG and examination of the uterine appendages can help with the diagnosis. If an ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, hospitalization is required immediately to avoid life-threatening rupture and heavy bleeding from an ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations to clarify the matter.

Will there be menstruation in an ectopic pregnancy? It is incorrect to judge whether it is an ectopic pregnancy based solely on whether there is menstruation. Usually, it can be judged based on pregnancy symptoms, examinations, and test results. Going to the hospital to check hCG and serum progesterone, as well as doing an early pregnancy B-ultrasound, can accurately determine whether it is an ectopic pregnancy.
