Patient's question:
What causes ectopic pregnancy? What are the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? How can ectopic pregnancy be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy, also known as tubal pregnancy. The most common type is fallopian tube ectopic pregnancy, which is caused by chronic gynecological inflammation that is not treated promptly or not treated thoroughly. This leads to fallopian tube blockage, so it obstructs the movement of the fertilized egg as it travels from the fallopian tube to the uterine cavity. The egg then stays in the fallopian tube to implant and grow. In the early stages of pregnancy, there are usually no symptoms. If it progresses to two or three months, the growth and development of the gestational sac can cause abdominal pain or even rupture.
