Tubal pregnancy - what does this mean
A tubal pregnancy is a type of ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. this can cause the tube to rupture and can be life-threatening. symptoms include abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and nausea. diagnosis is usually made through ultrasound and blood tests. treatment typically involves medication to stop the growth of the pregnancy or surgery to remove the tissue.
What happens during the disease - tubal pregnancy
Tubal pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants itself in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as an infection or inflammation of the fallopian tubes, abnormal shape of the fallopian tubes, or a history of pelvic surgery. this can lead to the egg being unable to travel down the fallopian tube, causing it to implant itself in the tube instead. as the egg continues to grow, the fallopian tube can become blocked or burst, leading to the potential for severe health complications.
