Question

Which of the following is true about ectopic pregnancy?

• A. Inflammation of the ovaries occurs
• B. The cysts are formed in the ovary due to follicular remnants
• C. Embryo does not implant in the uterus
• D. Abnormal growth of endometrial tissue occurs

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Embryo does not implant in the uterus

An ectopic pregnancy is when the growing embryo does not implant in the uterus, but in an abnormal site, often the abdomen or the fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancy is life threatening. A growing embryo can rupture and burst a fallopian tube, causing internal bleeding and infection.
