What is an ectopic pregnancy?

In an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo implants and develops outside the uterine cavity. The causes of abnormal localization of the fetal egg can be inflammation, congenital and acquired pathologies of the fallopian tubes, hormonal disorders. The child cannot be saved. Treatment is surgical removal of the fetal egg, often with a fallopian tube. It is important to detect the pathology in a timely manner, otherwise the life of a woman may be in jeopardy.

An ectopic (ectopic) pregnancy at the beginning of the course is no different from a normal one, so it is difficult to suspect it on your own. However, the further development of the fetal egg in an atypical place leads to intra-abdominal bleeding, which requires immediate surgical care.
