Most women with ectopic pregnancies do not need surgery.

  • Ectopic pregnancy is common. The pregnancy never survives.
  • The typical first symptom is pain in the lower tummy (abdomen) after a recent missed period.
  • As the pregnancy grows it may tear (rupture) the Fallopian tube, requiring emergency surgery.
  • Planned treatment before rupture occurs is best.
