ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
-An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
-This type of ectopic pregnancy is called a tubal pregnancy.
-Sometimes, an ectopic pregnancy occurs in other areas of the body, such as the o***y, abdominal cavity or the lower part of the uterus (cervix), which connects to the va**na.
-An ectopic pregnancy can't proceed normally. The fertilized egg can't survive, and the growing tissue may cause life-threatening bleeding, if left untreated.
✍️You may not notice any symptoms at first.
-However, some women who have an ectopic pregnancy have the usual early signs or symptoms of pregnancy — a missed period, breast tenderness and nausea.
-If you take a pregnancy test, the result will be positive. Still, an ectopic pregnancy can't continue as normal.
-As the fertilized egg grows in the improper place, signs and symptoms become more noticeable.
🚫Early warning of ectopic pregnancy
-Often, the first warning signs of an ectopic pregnancy are light va**nal bleeding and pelvic pain.
-If blood leaks from the fallopian tube, you may feel shoulder pain or an urge to have a bowel movement.
-Your specific symptoms depend on where the blood collects and which nerves are irritated.
🚫Emergency symptoms
-If the fertilized egg continues to grow in the fallopian tube, it can cause the tube to rupture.
-Heavy bleeding inside the abdomen is likely. Symptoms of this life-threatening event include extreme lightheadedness, fainting...
