During the ovulation period the egg cell released from the ovary meets with one of the sperm that passes through the cervix and the uterus (womb). The best sperm among the tubes is fertilized with the egg. Fertilized egg called embryo, normally travels to the uterus where it settles and begins to grow, after which the fetus is formed.
If the fertilized egg cannot go to the place where it should go and settle in another place and tries to grow, this pregnancy is called an ectopic pregnancy. Approximately 1-2% of pregnancies develop as ectopic pregnancy. This percentage has been increasing over the years. The reason is the development of early diagnosis methods, the increase in risk factors that may cause ectopic pregnancy, and the excessive use of in vitro fertilization methods.
The place where the ectopic gestational sac is most located is the tubes where fertilization takes place (98%). Apart from this, although rare, an ectopic pregnancy may occur by implanting the embryo in the region where the tube and uterus meet (uterine horns), the abdominal cavity (abdominal cavity), the ovaries, and the cervix.
Years ago, ectopic pregnancy was among the most important causes of maternal death in the first 3 months of pregnancy, but today, due to the increase in technology and awareness and the use of modern diagnostic methods, maternal deaths are rarely observed due to this reason.
