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.
It is really unknown at the time about what causes an ectopic pregnancy.

An ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilised egg attaches itself outside the uterus. The most common place where the ectopic pregnancy occurs is the fallopian tubes. Other possible areas where the ectopic could occur are the ovaries, abdomen and the cervix. The cause for ectopic pregnancy is mostly unknown. However endometriosis, any surgery to the abdomen, previous pelvic inflammatory disease all increase the chances of an ectopic pregnancy.

No, an ectopic pregnancy cannot occur in males, as they do not have a uterus or the reproductive anatomy required for pregnancy.

Yes, an ectopic pregnancy can still occur even if the fallopian tubes have been burned or damaged, as in the case of a procedure like tubal ligation. While such procedures are intended to prevent pregnancy by blocking or severing the tubes, there is still a small chance that a pregnancy could occur outside the uterus, typically in the remaining or nearby reproductive tissues. It is important for individuals with a history of such procedures to be aware of the signs of ectopic pregnancy and seek medical attention if they suspect one.
An ectopic pregnancy is a non-viable pregnancy that occurs anywhere outside of the uterus. It's often known as a "tubal" pregnancy as ectopics most often occur inside the Fallopian tubes. They can also occur on the cervix, inside the abdominal cavity and outside of the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy if left untreated is life threatening and you should see a Dr immediately.
