  • Fallopian tube dysfunction,
  • Inflammatory illness of the pelvis history.
  • Risk factors include inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries as well as a history of pelvic inflammatory illness.

The term "ectopic pregnancy" refers to the condition in which a fertilized egg implants itself outside of the womb, typically in one of the fallopian tubes that connect the ovaries to the womb. If an egg becomes stuck in a fallopian tube, it will not develop into a baby and continuing the pregnancy could be dangerous to your health.
