What happens during the disease - ectopic pregnancy, unspecified
Ectopic pregnancy is a condition in which a fertilized egg implants and grows outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. this occurs when the fertilized egg is unable to travel through the fallopian tube to the uterus and instead becomes implanted in the fallopian tube or elsewhere in the abdomen. this can occur due to a variety of factors, including pelvic inflammatory disease, previous tubal surgery, or abnormalities in the structure of the fallopian tube. ectopic pregnancies can be dangerous if left untreated, as they can cause damage to the surrounding organs and can lead to internal bleeding.
