ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
Hi doctors.
This is a general question and to clarify a doubt
1. IN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY DOES NORMAL PERIODS HAPPY?
2. IF THE NORMAL PERIODS HAPPEN WITH FULL FLOW FOR 2 MONTHS DOES IT RULE OUT PREGNANCY ITSELF?
Hi there ,
Ectopic pregnancy consists of triad of
1. Amenorrhea ( 6 - 10 weeks ) = no periods
2. Pain in abdomen
3. Bleeding PV
Bleeding per vagina may be present or absent with ectopic pregnancy
So it doesn't rule out ectopics
Next Steps
1. Test for urine pregnancy test(UPT)
2. USG evaluation
3. consult a gynecologist
Health Tips
stay watchful for Severe Pain abdomen , Shock, bleeding pv

1. No ectopic pregnancy is still pregnancy so no periods.
2. Yes it rules out pregnancy but certain cases there can be bleeding due to other causes in pregnancy which can be mistaken for periods, so better to have a negative UPT to be more sure.
