An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fetus begins to form outside of the womb. It’s a pregnancy that happens anywhere except inside the uterus where it’s supposed to happen. An ectopic pregnancy is life-threatening for the mother and cannot support the full-term growth of the baby.

Commonly, a fertilized egg travels to the womb, or uterus, through the fallopian tube. Sometimes, the egg becomes blocked for some reason and cannot continue along the path. Left untreated, the tissue that begins to grow from the egg can cause damage to surrounding organs, leaving you infertile. Severe blood loss can lead to death. Early intervention is vital to prevent further damage. Any signs or symptoms should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by a physician at our NYC gynecology center for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan as it may be a symptom or sign of a serious illness or condition.

Ectopic Pregnancy Statistics

Ectopic pregnancies occur in about one in 50 pregnancies, representing about two percent of all pregnancies nationwide, according to the American

Pregnancy Association. Of all pregnancies that lead to death, nearly nine percent are caused by ectopic pregnancies.
An ectopic pregnancy doesn’t have to mean that future endeavors to conceive won’t succeed. More than a third of women will have a normal. healthy pregnancy after having an ectopic. But if you’ve had an ectopic pregnancy, your risk of having another one increases nine times over women who’ve never had one.

Risks play into the ectopic pregnancy statistics as well because having an appendectomy doubles the chances that you’ll have an ectopic pregnancy. You also are at a greater risk if you’re over the age of 35 or under the age of 20.
