What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

When it comes to pregnancy, many women often encounter some difficulties. Sometimes it is difficult to give birth. Even if they are pregnant, it is still an ectopic pregnancy, which is a big blow to them. In fact, there are many factors that lead to ectopic pregnancy, and they need to be detected in time. You can't wait until the fetus grows larger to realize the seriousness of the problem. Early detection and early treatment are critical. So what are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

1. Amenorrhea: Like a normal pregnancy, the earliest symptom is cessation of menstruation. Before tubal pregnancy miscarriage or rupture, the symptoms and signs are not obvious. In addition to short-term amenorrhea and pregnancy symptoms, sometimes there is bloating and pain in one side of the lower abdomen. Early pregnancy tests can detect the presence of HCG in the body. If the HCG produced is not enough to maintain the endometrium, pathological bleeding will occur. During examination, the fallopian tubes may be normal or enlarged.

2. Abdominal pain: Generally, abdominal pain does not occur in the early stage. A small number of women may experience lower abdominal pain, a feeling of defecation, and sometimes severe pain, accompanied by cold sweats. If a tubal pregnancy or ovarian pregnancy ruptures, there will be sudden abdominal pain on one side of the lower abdomen, which is a tearing pain and is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If the bleeding irritates the diaphragm, it can also cause radiating pain in the shoulder blade. When fluid accumulates in the pelvic cavity, a feeling of heaviness and distension in the anus will occur, which is very helpful in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy.

3. Irregular vaginal bleeding:

When an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, women will have a little vaginal bleeding, which is usually not much, dark brown, and will not exceed the menstrual volume. Vaginal bleeding is often caused by endometrial detachment, and ruptured gestational sac bleeding may also cause vaginal bleeding. If abdominal pain is accompanied by vaginal bleeding, it is often a symptom of fetal damage.

4. Syncope and shock:

Due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding, blood volume reduction and severe abdominal pain may occur. Mild cases often cause syncope, while severe cases may experience shock. It is caused by acute bleeding in the abdominal cavity, which then leads to severe pain. The more a woman bleeds, the more severe the symptoms will be. Acute internal bleeding can often cause women to feel dizzy, pale, and have low blood pressure, and can even lead to fainting and shock.

Through the introduction above, everyone is very clear about the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. Generally, there will be no abdominal pain in a normal pregnancy, let alone bleeding. In short, once you notice the above-mentioned phenomena or other discomfort reactions, you still need to rush to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and make preparations for treatment.
