An ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg stays in the Fallopian tube instead of moving into the uterus. As it grows it can rupture the tube and cause serious bleeding so it is a medical emergency.
Past infections or other narrowings of the tube can be a cause. Usually no cause is identified.
