Ectopic Pregnancy Symptoms
Ectopic Pregnancy Symptoms
Executive summary about Ectopic Pregnancy Symptoms by Isaq Naser
Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy where the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in one of the fallopian tubes. Most often, the egg has implanted in the Fallopian tubes, but it can also implant in the cervix, ovaries or abdominal cavity. It may also be called a tubal pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy symptoms are similar to that of normal early pregnancy signs. When you display these types of ectopic pregnancy symptoms your doctor will perform a pregnancy test. Frequently, in ectopic pregnancies the level of HCG is considerably lower than in normal pregnancies. If you are pregnant but have very little HCG in your blood then this is an indication of an ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy symptoms can include vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and severe abdominal pain. Other ectopic pregnancy symptoms are quite similar to the normal signs of being pregnant. Most ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg attaches to the inside lining of a fallopian tube (a ‘tubal ectopic’). Rarely, an ectopic pregnancy occurs in other places such as in the ovary or inside the abdomen. The rest of this leaflet deals only with tubal ectopic pregnancy.
The early ectopic pregnancy symptoms are similar to a normal pregnancy: missed menses, nausea, breast tenderness and fatigue. However, in case you notice any of the ectopic pregnancy symptoms discussed above, you must consult your physician immediately.
The pregnancy often dies after a few days. About half of ectopic pregnancies probably end like this. You may have no ectopic pregnancy symptoms, and you may never have known that you were pregnant.
