Ectopic pregnancies can be complicated and, if left untreated, can be fatal. As the embryo grows, it can cause the fallopian tube to rupture, leading to internal bleeding and severe pain. This is a medical emergency that can be life-threatening if not addressed in time. If detected early, an ectopic pregnancy can often be treated with medication or minimally invasive surgery, preventing the risk of rupture and preserving the woman’s health. However, if the pregnancy is left untreated, it can cause significant damage to the reproductive organs and may even result in infertility. This is why early diagnosis and intervention by a skilled gynaecologist, such as Dr. Dhiranjali Sahoo, are advisable.
