Ectopic Pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition in which a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. This can cause the pregnancy to grow in the wrong location and can be life-threatening if left untreated.

What Causes an Ectopic Pregnancy?

An ectopic pregnancy can occur due to a variety of factors, including damage to the fallopian tubes, pelvic inflammatory disease, previous tubal surgeries, and the use of assisted reproductive technology.

How is an Ectopic Pregnancy Diagnosed?

An ectopic pregnancy can be diagnosed through a combination of symptoms, physical examination, and imaging tests such as an ultrasound or pelvic MRI.

How is an Ectopic Pregnancy Treated?

Treatment for an ectopic pregnancy will depend on the size and location of the pregnancy, as well as the overall health of the mother. In some cases, medication may be used to end the pregnancy, while in other cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the pregnancy and repair any damage to the fallopian tubes.
