ECTOPIC TUBAL PREGNANCY
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg gets implanted outside the uterus. The egg is meant to travel down the fallopian tubes and embed itself into the wall of the uterus, for its development. In an ectopic pregnancy, the egg implants in one of the structures along the way. The most common place this takes place is inside the fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancies occur in about 2% of all pregnancies.
SYMPTOMS OF ECTOPIC PREGNANCY:
- Vaginal Bleeding.
- Pain in Lower Abdomen, Pelvis and Lower back.
- Dizziness or weakness.
- Fainting.
- Low blood pressure - hypotension.
- Shoulder pain.
- Rectal pressure or bowel problems.
