Ectopic means "out of place." In an ectopic pregnancy, a fertilized egg has implanted outside the uterus. The egg settles in the fallopian tubes more than 95% of the time. This is why ectopic pregnancies are commonly called "tubal pregnancies." The egg can also implant in the ovary, abdomen, or the cervix, so you may see these referred to as cervical or abdominal pregnancies.
None of these areas has as much space or nurturing tissue as a uterus for a pregnancy to develop. As the fetus grows, it will eventually burst the organ that contains it. This can cause severe bleeding and endanger the mother's life. A classical ectopic pregnancy never develops into a live birth.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms?
Ectopic pregnancy can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms often mirror those of a normal early pregnancy. These can include missed periods, breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, or frequent urination.
Pain is usually the first red flag. You might feel pain in your pelvis, abdomen, or, in extreme cases, even your shoulder or neck (if blood from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy builds up and irritates certain nerves). Most women describe the pain as sharp and stabbing. It may concentrate on one side of the pelvis, and it may come and go or vary in intensity.
Any of the following additional symptoms can suggest an ectopic pregnancy:
* vaginal spotting or bleeding * dizziness or fainting (caused by blood loss) * low blood pressure (also caused by blood loss) * lower Back pain
What Causes an Ectopic Pregnancy?
An ectopic pregnancy results from a fertilized egg's inability to work its way quickly enough down the fallopian tube into the uterus. An infection or inflammation of the tube may have partially or entirely blocked it. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the most common of these infections.
Endometriosis (when cells from the lining of the uterus detach and grow elsewhere in the body) or scar tissue from previous abdominal or fallopian surgeries can also cause blockages. More rarely, birth defects or abnormal growths can alter the shape of the tube and disrupt the egg's progress.
How Is It Diagnosed?
A blood/serum pregnancy test is usuallly done since it is more sensitive and more accurate than a unine pregnancy test. Then an ultrasound should be done to see if they can locate the pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can be confused with ovarian cysts, ovarian torsion, appendcitis, salpingitis (PID), constipation, endometriosis, etc. Often the only way to be 100% sure is to look inside with a laparoscope.
No. The fallopian tubes just carry the egg to the uterus. The baby grows in the uterus and is not affected by the fallopian tubes
The baby might also have it.
No, the fallopian tubes do not affect the gender of the baby.
A gynecologist can feel many things in the uterus besides the ovaries. They can feel fibroids, fallopian tubes and at times, a baby.
The sperm is made in the testis and when sexual intercourse happens the sperm travels through the Sperm tube, into the penis out of the penis and into the vagina it then travels into the Fallopian tube. And finally one of the sperm will meet the egg in the oviduct and fertilisation will happen then a baby will start developing.
Of course not. I'm not sure how exactly you think fertilization would happen since you only have 1 egg each waiting in your fallopian tubes. 2 eggs makes no baby.
The egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube and then attaches to the uterine wall. The baby will develop in the uterus.
In normal circumstances, the egg, once fertilized in the fallopian tubes, moves through the fallopian tube to the endometrial cavity of the uterus and there implants and continues to develop.The answer is uterine cavity. The cavity inside the uterus.
You cannot become pregnant but you could carry a baby.
The egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube and then attaches to the uterine wall. The baby will develop in the uterus.
No, sakura and naruto don't have a baby in Shippuden that is just never going to happen ok at least not in the episodes
The fallopian tubes transports the eggs. The egg is actively taken in by the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube. The eggs is transported to the uterus.
