Health | As it grows, an ectopic pregnancy can rupture the fallopian tube and cause severe pain, internal bleeding, and even death. (references) | |
In addition, a partially blocked or slightly damaged fallopian tube may cause a fertilized egg to get stuck in the tube. This fertilized egg may begin to grow in the tube as if it were in the womb. This is an ectopic pregnancy, which is a pregnancy in the fallopian tube or elsewhere outside the uterus. (references) | ||
