What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is not unfamiliar to women, and there are many types of ectopic pregnancies clinically, which can cause great harm to women's bodies. There are many causes of ectopic pregnancy, and its symptoms are also very obvious, especially the pain symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, which are very distressing for women. Generally, when symptoms of ectopic pregnancy appear, timely treatment must be sought to avoid life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. What are the other symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

1. Abdominal pain

The patient has heavy or severe pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of defecation, and often cold sweat. If the affected area ruptures, the patient will suddenly feel tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting.

2. Menopause

The early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy can easily be 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 lower abdominal distension and pain on one side, and examination reveals enlarged fallopian tubes, ectopic pregnancy should be suspected.

3. 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 embryo. It is dark brown in color and small in amount, generally not exceeding the amount of menstruation. Bleeding is often accompanied by the discharge of decidual tubular or decidual fragments. When the lesion is eliminated, the bleeding may stop completely. The bleeding during menstruation is discharged without decidual tissue.

4. Syncope and shock

Some people may experience decreased blood volume or severe abdominal pain due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding. Mild cases may cause fainting, while severe cases may go into shock and endanger their lives.

5. Other symptoms

Patients with ectopic pregnancy may also experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and frequent urination. Some patients may go into shock due to heavy bleeding, becoming pale and having low blood pressure. If a woman experiences several of the above symptoms at the same time after becoming pregnant, she should suspect an ectopic pregnancy and go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
