Ectopic pregnancy is a serious complication that can even put the life of the woman at significant risk. For this reason, it deserves special attention. Even though the percentage of ectopic pregnancies is relatively low, when considering the use of assisted reproductive techniques, it is essential to take into account the various factors that may elevate the risk of ectopic pregnancy and make efforts to avoid those that are preventable, particularly if a tubal factor is present.
Therefore, while it is impossible to completely rule out the occurrence of an ectopic pregnancy, measures will be taken to lower the risk. Furthermore, being aware of the risk factors and evaluating whether the risk of ectopic pregnancy is heightened is the crucial first step to being especially watchful and recognizing early if this complication takes place.
This early detection is essential in order to prevent the development of ectopic pregnancy from leading to the rupture of the fallopian tube. On the other hand, the greater analytical and ultrasound monitoring and control during a pregnancy achieved through assisted reproduction also promotes the early detection of a possible ectopic pregnancy.
