What is an ectopic pregnancy? How do most ectopic pregnancies end?
What will be an ideal response?
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus. Tubal pregnancies, that is, when the egg implants in the fallopian tube, are the most commonly occurring ectopic pregnancies. A tubal pregnancy may end in one of two ways. The embryo may spontaneously abort and be released into the abdominal cavity or the embryo and placenta may continue to expand, stretching the tube until it ruptures. Symptoms of a rupture include sharp abdominal pain or cramping, dull abdominal pain and possible pain in the shoulder, and vaginal bleeding. Meanwhile, hemorrhaging is occurring and the woman may go into shock and, possibly, die.
