An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. This type of pregnancy cannot develop further and can be life-threatening if the tube ruptures. Symptoms include abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and shoulder pain. Treatment may involve medication to dissolve the fertilized egg or surgery to remove it.
