Frequently Asked Questions for s in

Unlike an ectopic pregnancy, in a heterotopic pregnancy, simultaneous gestations are present at two or more implantation sites — one is an intrauterine pregnancy and the other an ectopic pregnancy. Heterotopic pregnancy can also occur with more than one ectopic site, such as bilateral tubal or tubal and ovarian.” Also, you implied that heterotopic pregnancy is different from ectopic pregnancy. However, heterotopic pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that occurs in conjunction with a normal intrauterine pregnancy.

Yes, ectopic pregnancies can be life-threatening if left untreated. When a fallopian tube ruptures due to a growing ectopic pregnancy, it can cause severe internal bleeding that requires emergency medical intervention.

While stress can affect overall health and fertility, there is no direct evidence to suggest that it increases the chances of an ectopic pregnancy. However, managing stress through relaxation techniques and seeking emotional support can benefit overall well-being.

Ectopic pregnancies can sometimes cause damage to the fallopian tubes or ovaries. If the affected fallopian tube ruptures due to the growing pregnancy, it may require surgical intervention to remove the damaged tube and preserve the health of the ovary.

Women can usually conceive naturally after recovering from an ectopic pregnancy and its treatment. However, it is advisable to consult with your doctor for personalised advice based on your specific situation.

In some cases, if the ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed early and hormone levels are low, medication (such as methotrexate) may be used to treat the condition without surgery. Regular monitoring and follow-up visits are essential in such cases.

Ectopic pregnancy is usually considered an acute condition. It requires immediate medical care; otherwise, it can lead to life-threatening complications if left untreated.

The most common type of ectopic pregnancy is tubal, where the fertilised egg implants in the fallopian tube. However, ectopic pregnancies can also take place in other locations, such as the cervix, ovaries, or abdomen.

Ectopic pregnancies arise when the implantation of a fertilised egg occurs outside of the uterus, mainly in the fallopian tubes. The exact cause is often unknown, but factors such as previous tubal surgery, pelvic inflammatory disease, smoking, and advanced maternal age can increase the risk.

While polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can affect fertility and increase the risk of miscarriage, there is no direct link between PCOS and ectopic pregnancy. There is some evidence that PCOS may be associated with a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy due to hormonal imbalances or ovulation induction treatments. Limited studies are available to evaluate the association between PCOS and ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed through medical history evaluation, physical examination, and imaging tests (ultrasound scans). Blood tests may also be done to detect pregnancy hormone levels.

If you experience severe pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, or shoulder pain accompanied by other early signs of pregnancy, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. These could be symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy.

Gynaecologists or obstetricians can usually treat ectopic pregnancies. These specialists have the expertise to diagnose and manage ectopic pregnancies effectively.

Unfortunately, ectopic pregnancies cannot be prevented. However, you can reduce your risk by practising safe sex, using contraception correctly, and seeking early medical assistance for any signs or symptoms of pregnancy.

The treatment options for ectopic pregnancy include medication and surgery. Medication, such as methotrexate, can stop the growth of cells and allow the body to absorb them. This medication does not dissolve the ectopic pregnancy but rather prevents it from growing further. Surgery is often necessary if the ectopic pregnancy has already caused severe symptoms or if the medication fails to work.

Types/Stages of Ectopic Pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy can occur in various locations outside the uterus:

  • Fallopian Tubes: These are the most common sites for an ectopic pregnancy

  • Ovaries: Although rare, an egg can implant in an ovary

  • Abdomen: In very rare cases, an egg may attach to an organ in the abdomen

  • Cervix: This type is also rare but can be very dangerous due to the risk of severe internal bleeding

  • Cesarean Scar Tissue: If a woman has had a cesarean section, an egg can implant in the scar tissue

Symptoms of Ectopic Pregnancy

The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy can mimic those of a normal one. However, certain warning signs should prompt immediate medical attention:

  • Missed periods

  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding

  • Severe abdominal or pelvic pain

  • Shoulder pain

  • Dizziness or fainting

Tests to Diagnose Ectopic Pregnancy

Diagnosis involves several tests to confirm an ectopic pregnancy:

  • Pelvic Examination: To check for pain, tenderness or a mass in the abdomen.

  • Blood Tests: To measure human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy.

  • Ultrasound: To view the womb and detect any unusual growth.

  • Laparoscopy: In some cases, ectopic pregnancy surgeons perform a laparoscopy to get a closer look at the fallopian tubes.

Treatment or Surgery Options for Ectopic Pregnancy at Apollo Hospitals in Chennai

At Apollo Hospitals in Chennai, you can find highly skilled doctors specializing in ectopic pregnancy treatment, providing a range of treatment options:

  • Medication: Methotrexate is used for early, unruptured ectopic pregnancies with low and declining hCG levels.

  • Surgery: Surgical removal of the affected fallopian tube or removal of the ectopic pregnancy. At the same time, doctors treating ectopic pregnancies may preserve the fallopian tube, especially in cases where the pregnancy is detected early and the tube has not ruptured.

  • Expectant Management: Close monitoring is an option for very early, unruptured ectopic pregnancies with low hCG levels. This approach allows the body to absorb the pregnancy tissue naturally. 

Trusting in the expertise of Apollo Hospitals ensures access to top-notch specialists in ectopic pregnancy care. Timely diagnosis is essential for reducing risks and ensuring the most suitable treatment.
