Ectopic pregnancy symptom

Q: Could you please tell me what is an ectopic pregnancy symptom?

A: Roughly one in every 200 pregnancies develops into an ectopic pregnancy. It is very dangerous, because it is when the pregnancy is developing in the fallopian tubes, and only the uterus can sustain a pregnancy.

There is no clear reason as to why they happen. The symptoms include severe abdominal pain, a missed period and other signs of early pregnancy, and vaginal bleeding.

If you have symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy, you need to go to the doctor or hospital immediately. It can be treated with medication sometimes, but most often results in surgery.
