Women need to undergo early pregnancy check ups in a timely manner after pregnancy to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, as it can have adverse effects on their health. Some women also worry about whether their chest swelling and pain are related to ectopic pregnancy in the early stages of pregnancy. So, does ectopic pregnancy cause chest swelling and pain?
1. After pregnancy, women may experience physiological changes in their bodies, as well as some normal physiological discomfort during pregnancy, such as chest swelling and pain, which is a normal physiological response during pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy also belongs to pregnancy, and there may be an increase in the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in the body, which can stimulate the breasts and cause swelling and pain.
2. Determining whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy cannot be judged by whether there is chest swelling or pain, but rather by going to the hospital for prenatal check ups at an appropriate gestational age. During this period, around 40 days after pregnancy, one can go to the hospital for gynecological ultrasound examination to determine whether there is an echo of the gestational sac in the uterine cavity, which is used to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy.
3. After a woman becomes pregnant, excluding ectopic pregnancy can also be determined by examining the secretion level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the body and the results of progesterone testing. For example, if the progesterone test value is below ten and the HCG value has not doubled well, this test should be considered as ectopic pregnancy.
