| ectopic pregnancy |
A pregnancy located outside of the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. Such a pregnancy can rarely be sustained, and often leads to decreased or complete loss of function in the affected tube. Treatment is usually laparoscopic removal of the embryo or use of the chemotherapy drug Methotrexate that attacks fast growing cells and may dissolve the pregnancy without causing major damage to the tube.

A pregnancy which develops outside the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube (and more rarely in an ovary or the abdominal cavity). This is a serious disorder as it may be the cause of severe intra-abdominal bleeding, with little or no metrorrhagia (bleeding through the vagina). Any woman who has already experienced an ectopic pregnancy, has a history of salpingitis , endometriosis or fallopian tube sterility (see salpingitis and fertilisation ) is at risk of this condition.
