ectopic pregnancy in a Fallopian tube
-
A tubal pregnancy, also known as an ectopic pregnancy, is a condition where the fertilized egg implants itself and grows in the fallopian tubes instead of in the uterus. It is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention as it can cause internal bleeding, infection, and damage to the tube, and it is not viable for the fetus. It generally occurs in the first few weeks of pregnancy.
