What is Ectopic Pregnancy?
Ectopic pregnancy is a type of pregnancy where the fertilized egg does not attach itself to the lining of the uterus. Thus, fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus in case of Ectopic Pregnancy.
Where can Ectopic Pregnancy Occur?
Most often ectopic pregnancy occurs in a fallopian tube, carrying eggs from the ovaries to the uterus and it is also called Tubal Pregnancy. However, It may occur even in the ovary, abdominal cavity, or the lower part of the uterus (cervix), which connects to the vagina. In case you suspect an ectopic pregnancy, please visit an expert Gynecologist today.
