Ectopic pregnancy anatomy

This video is aimed at students of anatomy and should not be taken as medical advice. An ectopic pregnancy describes an implantation of an embryo into the body outside of the uterus. This gives a high risk of mortality for the mother and is something that healthcare professionals should be aware of. Let's look at the anatomy so that we understand this better.

I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and can I say the pain was the worst I have ever endured. But contrary to what I was told I went in to have another two children after that and three of my four children had to have exchange transfusions because of the Rh factor. So very very lucky. Thank you for explaining.

I love anatomy only from watching your videos

Thank you for the excellent and intriguing video. This should be shown to certain uninformed members of the US legislature at all levels of government. Lack of correct information (and a lot of other things) are leading to great danger for women who have an ectopic pregnancy. In my opinion, this video should be one of several that are required preparation for all politicians as well as medics.
Dr Webster, would you consider creating a video about the anatomy of a hysterectomy in various situations? That would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much.

The birth control that I use (nexplanon but I believe this occurs with other types of birth control) lists ectopic pregnancies as a risk. I believe that the mechanism of hormonal birth control is thickening cervical mucus. You mentioned that obstructions in the uterine tube often are what contributes to ectopic pregnancies-- maybe somehow the hormonal birth control is creating some sort of additional obstruction in that area.
Thanks for posting this video, I've often wondered with such a painful and life-threatening issue how I could detect it before the situation became truly dangerous. Now I know I can take a pregnancy test to rule this out if I'm experiencing serious abdominal/pelvic pain.

You help me understand medicine thanks intelligent doctor

Read a case of a hepatic ectopic pregnancy sometime ago and both the mother and child didn’t survive :( education of how dangerous it can be and making sure it’s completely removed is so important

[@farhasalem7139]

... if for an example during an ectopic pregnancy , say your left tube is removed ...then can your right tube pick the ovum released from left ovary ?
I read in some research papers that it does ..
Can you shed some light on this please

Is it possible to do some embryology videos particularly pharyngeal pouches , clefts and Arches?

I thought pregnancy is considered as beginning when the blastocyst implants in the endometrium. Therefore, is an ectopic pregnancy, strictly speaking, even a pregnancy? In the U.S., I think this is an important point, given the laws in some states against termination for any reason.

[@b44l1]

in the diagnosis process is it not true that the patient can present with debilitating referred pain in the upper thorax during an ectopic pregnancy, giving another helpful pointer to the diagnosis?

[@smadaf]

Is it known how humans compare to other mammals in the percentage of pregnancies that are ectopic?

[@katella]

Off topic, I know, but what is that lump on the good doctor's elbow?
