Ectopic pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition where a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancies cannot proceed normally, and the developing embryo cannot survive. This condition requires prompt medical intervention to prevent serious complications.
