As is well known, ectopic pregnancy refers to an abnormal pregnancy. If female friends accidentally experience ectopic pregnancy, they must seek medical attention in a timely manner and receive corresponding treatment, because ectopic pregnancy can threaten women's life and health. Will ectopic pregnancy compress the femoral nerve?
Ectopic pregnancy can compress the groin nerves. Some patients with ectopic pregnancy may indeed have hidden pain in the groin area, but the pain in the groin area cannot be confirmed as ectopic pregnancy. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy requires: firstly, confirming that the patient is pregnant through blood tests, urine tests, etc., and then confirming through ultrasound that the gestational sac is not in the uterine cavity. Ectopic pregnancy often occurs in the fallopian tubes, and some patients may also have gestational sac implantation in the abdominal cavity, which is also considered ectopic pregnancy. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy requires confirmation by ultrasound examination. If there is pain in the groin area, it is recommended that the patient go to a regular hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department for detailed examination and diagnosis.
So, what are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?
Generally speaking, the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are not obvious. After embryo death, there is often irregular vaginal bleeding with a dark red color and a small amount, usually not exceeding menstrual flow. A small number of patients experience significant vaginal bleeding, similar to menstruation, which may be accompanied by the expulsion of decidua fragments. Except for the longer duration of amenorrhea in the interstitial part of the fallopian tubes, there are usually 6 to 8 weeks of amenorrhea.
20% to 30% of patients have no significant history of amenorrhea or their menstrual cycle has only expired for two or three days. Due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding and severe abdominal pain, fainting may occur in mild cases, and hemorrhagic shock may occur in severe cases. The more bleeding there is, the faster and more severe the symptoms appear, but it is not proportional to the amount of vaginal bleeding.
