🚨 ECTOPIC PREGNANCY: Know the Warning Signs 🚨
An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus — most commonly in the fallopian tube.
It is a medical emergency if not diagnosed early.
⚠️ Symptoms to watch for:
• Missed period + positive pregnancy test
• One-sided lower abdominal pain
• Vaginal spotting
• Shoulder tip pain
• Dizziness / fainting
Severe pain + weakness = Go to the ER immediately.
🩺 How is it diagnosed?
✔️ Serial Beta-hCG levels
✔️ Transvaginal ultrasound
💊 Treatment depends on timing:
• Early, stable cases → Medical management (Methotrexate)
• Ruptured/unstable → Emergency laparoscopy
Early detection can preserve fertility.
Delay can be life-threatening.
If you are newly pregnant and experiencing pain — don’t ignore it.
Your body whispers before it screams.
