What is Ectopic Pregnancy?
Ectopic pregnancy, also known as extrauterine pregnancy, is when the fertilized egg has trouble passing through a damaged tube, causing the egg to implant and grow outside of the uterus. Antai Hospital prevents female reproductive organ removal and has different ways to treat ectopic pregnancy.
An untreated ectopic pregnancy can be a life-threatening emergency. The fertilized egg can implant in neither one of your fallopian tubes, which is called a tubal pregnancy. 96% of ectopic pregnancies are tubal pregnancies. The fertilized egg may also implant on one of your ovaries or your cervix, on your uterine horn, even in your abdomen (rare case).
Causes of ectopic pregnancy
Like many other illnesses, several factors can contribute to ectopic pregnancy, such as:
