Ectopic pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition where a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tubes. Since the fallopian tubes are not designed to support the growth of a developing embryo, an ectopic pregnancy cannot proceed normally and poses serious health risks to the pregnant person.History of Pelvic Infections: Infections in the reproductive organs can cause scarring or damage to the fallopian tubes, increasing the likelihood of an ectopic pregnancy. Previous Ectopic Pregnancy: Once a person has had one ectopic pregnancy, their risk of having another increases. Tubal Surgeries: Surgical procedures on the fallopian tubes, such as tubal ligation or tubal reconstruction, can increase the risk of ectopic pregnancies
