 | | And because ectopic pregnancy is treated with tubal surgery, a history of ectopic pregnancy increases the risk of future occurrences. | | | Ectopic pregnancy is noted that it can mimic symptoms of other diseases such as appendicitis, other gastrointestinal disorder, problems of the urinary system, as well as pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecologic problems. | | | An ectopic pregnancy has to be suspected in any woman with lower abdominal pain and/or unusual bleeding who is sexually active and whose pregnancy test is positive. |

| | Medical therapy of ectopic pregnancy is appealing over surgical options for a number of reasons, including eliminating morbidity from surgery and general anesthesia, potentially less tubal damage, and less cost and need for hospitalization. | | | Medical therapy: Historically, the treatment of ectopic pregnancy was limited to surgery. | | | The evidence in the literature reporting on the treatment of ectopic pregnancy with subsequent reproductive outcome is limited mostly to observational data and a few randomized trials comparing the various treatment options. |

| | If these tests do not show whether or not there is an ectopic pregnancy, the doctor may need to view the abdominal organs directly with a thin, flexible viewing instrument called a laparoscope, which is inserted through a tiny incision in the abdomen while the woman is under general anesthesia. | | | However, women who have had an ectopic pregnancy have a 7 to 15 percent chance of it happening again, so they need to be monitored carefully when they attempt to conceive again. | | | Up to one pregnancy in 50 is ectopic, which means "out of place." In an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube, and begins to grow. |

| | Early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy may allow efficacious nonsurgical treatment. | | | Ectopic (tubal) pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in one of the Fallopian tubes (oviducts), but very rarely on the ovary and even rarer, in the abdominal cavity. | | | Many of these are diagnosed before a woman realizes she is pregnant, so if your doctor has confirmed pregnancy (through a blood test and a physical exam) and you have had no signs of ectopic pregnancy, you can cross this worry off your list. |

| | Reproductive Health: Ectopic Pregnancy |
| | An ectopic pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition. | | | Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the embryo implants outside the uterus. | | | In 95% of cases, the embryo implants in a fallopian tube, which is why this condition is often termed a "tubal pregnancy." Since the fallopian tubes are not large enough to accommodate a growing embryo, the pregnancy cannot continue normally. |

| | Presence of an adnexal mass and/or cul-de-sac fluid in a patient with no intrauterine gestation and measurable circulating human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) are highly specific for the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. | | | Ectopic pregnancy occurs in 1:100-400 pregnancies and accounts for 15% of maternal deaths. | | | The only sonographic finding that reliably excludes an ectopic pregnancy is a demonstration of an intrauterine pregnancy since concomitant presence of an intrauterine and an extrauterine pregnancy is extremely rare (except in induced ovulation). |

| | After surgery for an ectopic pregnancy you may have some adhesions which might cause some pelvic pain and pain at ovulation but this usually settles. | | | Since ectopic pregnancy is more related to past tubal damage rather than the present, there is little that can be done to prevent a future ectopic. | | | Ectopic pregnancies usually cause symptoms which lead women to seek help between the 4th and 10th week of pregnancy and most commonly between 6-7 weeks. |
