In this obstetrics series, we explore Ectopic Pregnancy: its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical features, diagnosis, and management.
🩸 Understand the pathophysiology – implantation of a fertilized egg outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube.
⚠️ Learn about key risk factors – previous ectopic pregnancy, PID, tubal surgery, IUD use, and assisted reproduction.
🔍 Recognize common symptoms – abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, shoulder tip pain, and signs of rupture (collapse, hypotension).
🩺 Discover essential diagnostic tools – transvaginal ultrasound, serum β-hCG trends, and laparoscopy in uncertain cases.
💊 Review management options – expectant, medical (methotrexate), and surgical (salpingectomy/salpingostomy) approaches.
🚨 Understand complications – rupture leading to hemorrhagic shock, infertility risk, and future ectopic pregnancies.
Perfect for medical students, healthcare professionals, and anyone wanting to understand ectopic pregnancy better! 🎙️✨ #EctopicPregnancy #Obstetrics #MaternalHealth #MedicalPodcast
