Hello,

An Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that happens outside the womb or the uterus. This usually happens in the fallopian tube and that's why it is also referred to as Tubal pregnancy. Some of the common symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are lower abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, faintness, dizziness and shoulder pain. The main cause of ectopic pregnancy is blockage of fallopian tubes, which does not allow fertilized egg to reach uterus, resulting in unnatural implantation of the embryo in the fallopian tube.

Hope it is clear to you!
