Es posible que no note ningún síntoma al principio. Sin embargo, algunas mujeres que tienen un embarazo ectópico presentan los signos o síntomas tempranos habituales del embarazo: ausencia de menstruación, sensibilidad en los senos y náuseas. Si te haces una prueba de embarazo, el resultado será positivo. Aún así, el embarazo ectópico no puede continuar con normalidad. A medida que el óvulo fecundado crece en el lugar inadecuado, los signos y síntomas se hacen más notorios.

The ultrasound scan will be used to identify where a pregnancy is located.If the pregnancy is in the right place and growing normally, the pregnancy sac can usually be seen around five days after your period was due. The embryo (baby) becomes visible about a week later. Treatment A fertilized egg can't develop normally outside the uterus. To prevent life-threatening complications, the ectopic tissue needs to be removed. Depending on your symptoms and when the ectopic pregnancy is discovered, this may be done using medication, laparoscopic surgery or abdominal surgery.
