Ectopic Pregnancy: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment by Dr. Anita Gupta

Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment in Delhi

One of the Best Gynecologist for Ectopic Pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. The most common site is the fallopian tube—a condition referred to as tubal pregnancy. However, it can also occur in the ovary, cervix, or, in rare cases, the abdominal cavity.

Ectopic pregnancy cannot progress normally and requires urgent medical attention. If you're seeking ectopic pregnancy treatment in Delhi, Dr. Anita Gupta offers expert care backed by years of experience in early pregnancy diagnosis and emergency gynecological surgery.

What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?

In a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg travels through the fallopian tube and implants inside the uterus. In an ectopic pregnancy, this process is disrupted, and the egg implants outside the uterine cavity—most often in the fallopian tube.

Because the fallopian tubes are not designed to support a growing embryo, the pregnancy cannot continue and may cause the tube to rupture if not treated in time.

Why is Awareness of Ectopic Pregnancy Important?

Ectopic pregnancy can affect any woman of reproductive age, whether married or unmarried. Early recognition of symptoms and timely diagnosis is crucial. Abortion pills (MTP kits) are commonly used these days without medical consultation, especially by young or unmarried women. But if the pregnancy is ectopic, these pills will not help—and may delay life-saving treatment.

If you're uncertain about your pregnancy status or symptoms, do not hesitate to consult a gynecologist. It could save your life.

Symptoms of Ectopic Pregnancy

Symptoms often appear between the 4th and 8th week of pregnancy and may vary depending on the stage:

  • Lower abdominal or pelvic pain (usually one-sided)
  • Vaginal bleeding or spotting
  • Shoulder tip pain (due to internal bleeding irritating the diaphragm)
  • Fainting or dizziness
  • Missed period
  • Nausea and breast tenderness

In some cases, ectopic pregnancy may be asymptomatic and diagnosed only during an early pregnancy ultrasound.

How Is Ectopic Pregnancy Diagnosed?

Early diagnosis is key to avoiding complications. At Dr. Anita Gupta’s clinic, the following tests are performed to confirm an ectopic pregnancy:

Transvaginal Ultrasound: To check for presence (or absence) of a gestational sac inside the uterus.

Serum Beta-hCG Blood Test: Measures pregnancy hormone levels. In ectopic pregnancies, the rise is usually slower than in normal pregnancies.

Pelvic examination: To detect tenderness or masses.

Complications of Undiagnosed Ectopic Pregnancy

If an ectopic pregnancy progresses beyond 6 weeks, it may cause the fallopian tube to rupture, leading to:

  • Severe internal bleeding
  • Intense abdominal pain
  • Shock (low blood pressure, rapid pulse, fainting)
  • Collapse and life-threatening emergency

In such cases, emergency surgery is needed to control the bleeding and save the patient’s life. Often, the affected fallopian tube has to be removed.

Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment in Delhi

The treatment approach depends on the stage of the pregnancy and whether it has ruptured:

  • Medical Management (for unruptured cases)
    • A medicine called Methotrexate is used to stop the growth of the pregnancy tissue.
    • Close monitoring with blood tests and follow-up ultrasounds is essential.
  • Surgical Management
    • Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimally Invasive): To remove the ectopic pregnancy and repair or remove the affected tube.
  • Emergency Laparotomy: In case of ruptured ectopic pregnancy with heavy bleeding.

Dr. Anita Gupta, a highly experienced laparoscopic gynecologist in Delhi, performs these procedures with precision and care to ensure a quick and safe recovery.
