Patient's question:
Hello, where does ectopic pregnancy occur? It means successful delivery outside the uterus, right?Doctor's answer:
Hello, what is referred to as an ectopic pregnancy is when pregnancy occurs outside the uterus, within the abdominal cavity. Therefore, ectopic pregnancy cannot be preserved because the most significant characteristic of ectopic pregnancy is severe abdominal pain, which can then lead to heavy bleeding and life-threatening risks. Therefore, ectopic pregnancy should be surgically treated promptly because there is no nutrition in the abdominal cavity for the baby to grow, and once mature, it may adhere to a certain location, posing certain risks.
