A condition where pregnancy occurs in any location other than the uterus. This is abnormal and most commonly occurs in the Fallopian tube, the tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus. If the pregnancy continues to grow, it may rupture and lead to life-threatening bleeding.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Unfortunately, an ectopic pregnancy cannot be saved. Treatment is usually needed to remove it before it grows too large, ruptures and bleeds. Removal can be done through medications or surgery depending on a number of factors. If it ruptures, emergent treatment is usually necessary.
