What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?
Sometimes
during the fertilisation process, the egg doesn't reach the uterus. It
|
begins to
grow in the fallopian tube, or very much more rarely it attaches to an ovary or
other organ in the stomach. This is called an ectopic pregnancy because it is
outside the uterus. An ectopic
pregnancy can’t grow as required and must be treated.
Almost
all ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube, but because the tube is so
narrow and its wall is so thin, the pregnancy can grow to only about the size of
a walnut before the tube bursts. Prompt treatment is essential as soon as it is
discovered.
