Ectopic pregnancy is a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo attaches outside the uterus. [ 5 ] Signs and symptoms classically include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, but fewer than 50 percent of affected women have both of these symptoms. [ 1 ] The pain may be described as sharp, dull, or crampy. [ 1 ]
They found that about 50% of patients delivered a live baby. The rates for ectopic pregnancy was 2.7%, for miscarriage 34%, and for preterm delivery 20%, while the intrauterine demise rate was 10%. [2] Thus patients with a unicornuate uterus are at a higher risk for pregnancy loss and obstetrical complications.
Results of tubal surgery are inversely related to damage that exists prior to surgery. [10] Development of adhesions remains a problem. [1] Patients with operated tubes are at increased risk for ectopic pregnancy, [10] although in vitro fertilization in patients with damaged tubes is also associated with a risk for ectopic pregnancy.
An interstitial pregnancy is a uterine but ectopic pregnancy; the pregnancy is located outside the uterine cavity in that part of the fallopian tube that penetrates the muscular layer of the uterus. [1] The term cornual pregnancy is sometimes used as a synonym, [2][3] but remains ambiguous as it is also applied to indicate the presence of a ...
Ectopic pregnancy is implantation of the embryo outside the uterus. This form of complicated pregnancy, which is a non-implication of a normally fertilized egg at any spot other than the uterus, involves operation failure, which can cause life-threatening conditions. However, the underlying reasons for this are not exactly known.
Ovarian pregnancy refers to an ectopic pregnancy that is located in the ovary. Typically the egg cell is not released or picked up at ovulation, but fertilized within the ovary where the pregnancy implants. [1][2][3] Such a pregnancy usually does not proceed past the first four weeks of pregnancy. [3] An untreated ovarian pregnancy causes ...
Pregnancy in a rudimentary horn is typically associated with several complications, including intrauterine growth restriction, low amniotic fluid levels, preterm birth, fetal death, and occasionally, full-term gestation. [ 7 ] While there have been cases of successful live births, the prognosis for pregnancy in the rudimentary horn is generally ...
83,000 (2015) [3] Obstetrical bleeding is bleeding in pregnancy that occurs before, during, or after childbirth. [4] Bleeding before childbirth is that which occurs after 24 weeks of pregnancy. [4] Bleeding may be vaginal or less commonly into the abdominal cavity. Bleeding which occurs before 24 weeks is known as early pregnancy bleeding.
