Patient's question:
How many types of ectopic pregnancy are there? Why does ectopic pregnancy occur? Is it dangerous?Doctor's answer:
An embryo implants and grows in an unintended location, that is, an ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, there are various types of ectopic pregnancy, such as ovarian pregnancy, broad ligament early pregnancy, fallopian tube pregnancy, cornual pregnancy, and even abdominal pregnancy. The most common cause of ectopic pregnancy is inflammation, such as inflammation of the fallopian tubes, pelvic inflammation, or uterine inflammation. Of course, abnormal development of the embryo itself is also possible. The most feared complication of ectopic pregnancy is rupture, leading to severe bleeding, which can result in hemorrhage, shock, and even life-threatening injury.
