An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus — and it can be dangerous if not treated on time.
This is a serious condition because the egg cannot develop properly outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube, and can lead to life-threatening complications like rupture and internal bleeding.
Treatment depends on the severity and location of the ectopic pregnancy. It can involve medication (like methotrexate), surgery (laparoscopy or laparotomy), or a combination of both.
