What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is a dangerous ectopic pregnancy with various symptoms, including amenorrhea, abdominal pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, syncope and shock.

1. History of menopause

Most patients with ectopic pregnancy will experience amenorrhea, but some patients will not experience obvious amenorrhea or only experience a decrease in menstrual volume. This is because ectopic pregnancy is also a type of pregnancy, and the increase in progesterone levels in the body affects the proliferation of the endometrium.

2. Abdominal pain

Abdominal pain is one of the most common symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, especially when tubal pregnancy is aborted or ruptured, the patient will suddenly feel tearing pain in one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. The pain may start in the lower abdomen and gradually intensify, and the pain may be aggravated by local pressure or rebound.

3. Irregular vaginal bleeding

Irregular vaginal bleeding is also one of the important symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. The amount of bleeding is usually small, and the color may be darker, in the form of drops or brown discharge. This bleeding is caused by endometrial detachment or fallopian tube bleeding caused by abnormal embryo implantation site, which is discharged outward through the uterine cavity.

4. Syncope and shock

As the disease progresses, some patients may also experience symptoms of syncope and shock. This is due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding and severe abdominal pain, which leads to a decrease in blood volume and blood pressure, and in severe cases may even be life-threatening.

The appearance of these symptoms is closely related to the site of implantation of the fertilized egg, whether rupture occurs, and the amount of bleeding.
