Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is when a pregnancy developed outside of your uterus, usually in your Fallopian tube . Ectopic pregnancies are rare but serious, and that they got to be treated.

What’s an ectopic pregnancy?

Normal pregnancies grow inside your uterus after a fertilized egg travels through your Fallopian tube and attaches to your uterine lining. ectopic pregnancy is when an embryo attaches elsewhere in your body, usually in your Fallopian tube — that’s why it’s sometimes called “tubal pregnancy.”

Ectopic pregnancies also can happen on your ovary, or elsewhere in your belly.

Ectopic pregnancies are rare — it happens in about 2 out of each 100 pregnancies. But they’re very dangerous if not treated. Fallopian tubes can break if stretched an excessive amount by the growing pregnancy — this is often sometimes called a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. this will cause internal bleeding, infection, and in some cases cause death.

Can I get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?

Most women who have an ectopic pregnancy can have healthy pregnancies within the future, counting on the treatment you had and therefore the condition of your fallopian tubes. If one among your fallopian tubes was removed or your tubes are scarred, it’s going to be harder to urge pregnant. If you’ve got an ectopic pregnancy, you’re more likely to urge another one in the future.
