What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?

An ectopic pregnancy happens when the fertilised egg grows outside the womb (uterus), usually in the fallopian tube. Since the fertilised egg can’t develop properly there, it can cause serious health risks if not treated immediately.

Dr. Shivanjali Nayak brings years of experience and specialisation in timely diagnosis, advanced treatment and compassionate support for women experiencing ectopic pregnancy.

    Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment

    Medication

    Medication:

    Doctors suggest some medications or injections to stop the pregnancy from growing. It works well if the ectopic pregnancy is found early and hasn’t caused a rupture.

    Laparoscopic Surgery

    Laparoscopic Surgery:

    In some cases, Dr. Shivanjali Nayak considers a minor, keyhole surgery to remove the ectopic tissue from the fallopian tube. You will need a shorter hospital stay. You can expect a quicker recovery.

    Emergency Surgery

    Emergency Surgery:

    If the fallopian tube has ruptured, immediate ectopic pregnancy surgery is needed to stop internal bleeding and protect your health.

    Frequently Asked Question

    Is ectopic pregnancy life-threatening?

    Yes. It can cause internal bleeding and needs quick medical attention to avoid life-threatening complications.

    Can I get pregnant again?

    Absolutely. Many women conceive again, but future pregnancies may need close monitoring by your doctor.

    When can I try again?

    Most women can try after 2–3 regular periods, depending on their health condition and doctor’s advice.

    Does ectopic pregnancy always need surgery?

    Not always. If diagnosed early, doctors can treat it with medication only without surgery.

    Will I lose my fallopian tube?

    Sometimes, if it is ruptured or damaged, doctors suggest a surgical procedure to remove the tube where the fertilised egg takes place.
