What is an ectopic pregnancy?
An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs outside the uterusa product of when a fertilized egg implants in a place that cannot support its growth. This condition occurs with higher frequency in the fallopian tubealthough a smaller portion of cases may occur in the ovaries, abdominal cavity, or cervix. This type of pregnancy cannot be carried out, since only the uterus is designed to perform this task.
Also called extrauterine pregnancy It can be life-threatening, especially if a fallopian tube ruptures. In such cases, it can cause severe bleeding, infection and, in very rare cases, death, making it a medical emergency.
Ectopic pregnancies occur in approximately 2% of pregnant women.
What are the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy?
The early symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy may be very similar to typical pregnancy symptoms. However, additional symptoms may be experienced during an ectopic pregnancy, including: vaginal bleeding, dizziness or weakness, and pain in the lower abdomen, pelvis, and lower back.
If a fallopian tube ruptures, the pain and bleeding may be severe enough to cause additional symptoms, such as:
- Fainting.
- Low blood pressure.
- Shoulder pain.
- Rectal pressure or bowel problems.
- When a tube bursts, you may feel a sudden, sharp pain in your lower abdomen, which is a medical emergency.
What causes an ectopic pregnancy?
In most cases, conditions that delay or block the movement of the egg through the fallopian tube cause an ectopic pregnancy. This could happen because:
- You have scar tissue, adhesions, or inflammation from previous pelvic surgery.
- Your fallopian tubes are damaged, for example, due to a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
- You were born with an irregularly shaped fallopian tube.
- You have a growth blocking your fallopian tube.
