When a fertilized egg implants outside the uterine cavity, it is called an ectopic pregnancy. Ninety-five percent of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes, but they can also happen in the ovaries and abdominal cavity. These areas are not suitable for pregnancy and are prone to miscarriage or rupture, which can cause severe bleeding.
Closed menstruation, vaginal bleeding, and lower abdominal pain are typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, experts from the Tianjin Huaxia Gynecological Treatment Center warn that if lower abdominal pain worsens and is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, sweating, and pallor, this indicates internal bleeding, a dangerous sign, and emergency services should be notified immediately while first aid is administered.
Emergency Measures
Before the ambulance arrives, the patient should lie down with their head low and feet elevated to maintain quietness and prevent further bleeding, as bleeding can lead to anemia and shock. Keeping warm with blankets or similar items is also important.
