Someone i know went through this and it really frightened me. Im in my early weeks and got a bit anxious reading about it. What actually happens when it ruptures and what signs should make me rush to the doctor?
I know this sounds frightening, but the key is to act fast if those severe symptoms appear, dont sit at home. If you are worried you might have an ectopic, get an early scan now so it is caught before any rupture. Please dont delay seeing the doctor.
I had an ectopic and this is a serious emergency, please dont treat it lightly. It causes sudden severe pain, dizziness and internal bleeding and needs hospital immediately. If you have one sided sharp pain or faintness, call an ambulance or rush to ER right away.
My doctor explained a rupture means the tube bursts causing heavy internal bleeding, which is life threatening and needs urgent surgery. Warning signs are intense pelvic pain, shoulder tip pain and feeling faint. This is one thing you never wait on, go to hospital fast.
