Signs and Symptoms of an Ectopic Pregnancy | Dr. Richika Sahay Shukla | India IVF
- 8 months ago
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. It is a potentially life-threatening condition and requires immediate medical attention. The signs and symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy may vary, but here is a comprehensive description:
Abdominal pain: One of the earliest and most common symptoms is sharp or intense pain on one side of the lower abdomen or pelvis. The pain may come and go or persist and can range from mild to severe.
Vaginal bleeding: Light to heavy vaginal bleeding, which may be darker or different from a normal period, is another significant symptom. It may occur alongside or independent of abdominal pain.
Shoulder pain: In some cases, the ectopic pregnancy can cause referred pain in the shoulder, typically on the same side as the affected fallopian tube. This occurs due to irritation of the diaphragm from blood or fluid leakage.
Nausea and vomiting: Some women may experience symptoms similar to morning sickness, including nausea and vomiting.
Dizziness or fainting: If the ectopic pregnancy leads to internal bleeding, it can cause a drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness, lightheadedness, or even fainting.
Rectal pressure: In rare instances, pressure on the rectum may cause discomfort or a sensation of needing to have a bowel movement.
Urinary symptoms: Increased frequency of urination or discomfort while urinating may occur due to the ectopic pregnancy's proximity to the bladder.
