Will my stomach hurt all the time if I have an ectopic pregnancy?

Patients with ectopic pregnancy generally have abdominal pain, but some friends do not know how to judge it, which causes the situation to get worse and worse, which has a great impact on the health of pregnant women. The abdomen will not hurt all the time due to ectopic pregnancy, but it can also cause severe pain, so you need to pay attention to your physical condition in a timely manner.

1. Will the lower abdomen hurt all the time if you have an ectopic pregnancy?

Most ectopic pregnancies will have symptoms of abdominal pain, which is mainly a symptom of patients with tubal pregnancy. Before the miscarriage or rupture of tubal pregnancy occurs, the embryo gradually grows in the fallopian tube, which will cause dull pain or soreness in one side of the lower abdomen. If a tubal pregnancy ruptures, you will suddenly feel a tearing pain in one side of your lower abdomen, often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

2. Early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy

1. Abdominal pain: The patient has a heavy or severe pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of defecation, and often has cold sweats. 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. Amenorrhea: 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 pain on one side, and examination reveals that the fallopian tube is normal and enlarged, ectopic pregnancy should be suspected.

3. Vaginal bleeding: Patients with ectopic pregnancy will have symptoms of 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: Many patients may suffer from decreased blood volume or severe abdominal pain due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding. Mild cases may experience syncope, while severe cases may suffer from shock, which is life-threatening.

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.
