Key Points about Ectopic Pregnancy
- Definition: Ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg implants outside the uterine cavity, most commonly in the fallopian tube.
- Causes: Risk factors include previous ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal surgery, and fertility treatments.
- Symptoms: Common symptoms include abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and signs of early pregnancy. A ruptured ectopic pregnancy may cause shoulder pain and fainting.
- Investigations: Diagnosis is confirmed by transvaginal ultrasound and serum hCG levels. Laparoscopy may be required if diagnosis is unclear.
- Management: Treatment includes expectant management, medical management with methotrexate, or surgical intervention such as salpingectomy, depending on the clinical situation and hCG levels.
- Complications: A ruptured ectopic pregnancy can cause internal bleeding and shock, which may be life-threatening without prompt treatment.
