Fertilisation of human egg and sperm occurs in fallopian tubes. So tubes play a crucial role in transporting egg, sperm and embryo after fertilisation. Any pathology affecting tubes like pelvic inflammatory diseases, genital tuberculosis (kochs), post procedure scarring, hydro/pyosalpinx, to (tubo-ovarian) mass may affect tubal epithelium and hence the function. Affected tubes increase the likelihood of infertility and ectopic pregnancy as well. Tests like sonosalpingography (SSG) and hysterosal...more

An ectopic pregnancy takes place in the case when the completely fertilized egg attaches itself to a place outside the inner side of the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy is also called tubal pregnancy because in most cases, it takes place in the Fallopian tube. Usually, the Fallopian tubes are not responsible for holding an embryo, which keeps on growing. Hence, the egg has no scope to develop in the Fallopian tube. This problem must be treated as soon as possible to avoid further complications. Here a...more

In a normal pregnancy, the egg that the ovaries release enters the fallopian tube. If a sperm fertilises it, the fertilised egg attaches itself inside the uterus. However, sometimes the fertilised egg can attach itself outside the uterus. This condition is called ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy can be detected in the first few weeks of the pregnancy itself. If your doctor does discover ectopic pregnancy, you would need immediate medical attention. Ectopic pregnancies can be sad and...more

In ordinary pregnancy, the egg released from the ovary becomes fertilized when it meets the sperm and travels through the fallopian tubes to the uterus where it grows in the following nine months. In an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg never makes it to the uterus instead it stays in one of the fallopian tubes; this is also known as tubal pregnancy. In very rare cases, the egg also attaches itself to one of the two ovaries making your pregnancy difficult and putting your health in danger.more

The normal process is for the fertilized egg to get itself embedded within the uterus. For various reasons, however, it can happen that the fertilized egg gets embedded outside the uterine cavity. This is known as extra-uterine pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of this is 11 per 1000 pregnancies. The most common location (97 % of the times) for these pregnancies is the fallopian tube, and so also known as tubal pregnancies. Rarely (1 in 30,000 pregnancies) an ectopic pregnancy can co...more

During a normal pregnancy, a fertilised egg travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus. The egg attaches itself in the uterus and begins to develop. In an ectopic pregnancy, the egg attaches outside the uterus, most often in fallopian tube. This is the reason why it is also called a tubal pregnancy. In rare cases, the egg may implant itself in an ovary or the cervix.
There is no way to prevent an ectopic pregnancy. Also, it cannot be transformed into a normal pregnancy. If the egg...more
