Tubal Pregnancy

A tubal pregnancy is a type of ectopic pregnancy in which the fertilized egg implants inside one of the fallopian tubes instead of in the uterus. Because the tube is not prepared to hold a pregnancy, this situation can compromise a woman's health.

Common symptoms: it usually presents with abdominal or pelvic pain on one side, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and, at times, dizziness or general malaise during the first weeks of pregnancy.

When to seek care? In the face of severe pelvic pain or bleeding during a possible pregnancy, it is advisable to seek care without delay, since this is a condition that requires timely evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who studies and follows up on this condition, with support from the general practitioner in an initial evaluation. If you suspect a pregnancy with these signs, the most prudent thing is to put yourself in the hands of a professional as soon as possible.
