Extrauterine pregnancy

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