Ectopic pregnancy
When a fertilised egg does not enter the uterus, but instead implants elsewhere, usually in the fallopian tube. Symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy include abnormal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or shoulder pain. The ectopic pregnancy must be surgically removed to prevent rupture and damage of the fallopian tubes.
