An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. This potentially life-threatening condition requires immediate medical attention and expert care. At Unittas Hospital, we offer advanced ectopic pregnancy treatment in Chennai, led by a team of experienced gynecologists and emergency medicine specialists. Our doctors for ectopic pregnancy in Chennai provide rapid diagnosis, compassionate support, and personalized treatment to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient.
If you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, dizziness, or fainting during early pregnancy, seek immediate medical care.
📞 Emergency: 044-4012-4012Approximately 1 in 90 pregnancies in India are ectopic, affecting around 2% of all pregnancies globally. While the pregnancy cannot continue normally, early detection and proper treatment can prevent serious complications and preserve fertility for future pregnancies.
Most ectopic pregnancies (about 90%) occur in the fallopian tubes, but they can also develop in the ovaries, cervix, or abdominal cavity. Without proper treatment, the growing embryo can cause the fallopian tube to rupture, leading to severe internal bleeding and requiring emergency ectopic pregnancy surgery to save the patient's life.
Ectopic pregnancy often presents in early pregnancy (first trimester). Key warning signs:
Because ectopic pregnancy symptoms often overlap with those of a normal early pregnancy, clinical suspicion is critical, especially when risk factors are present.
At Unittas Hospital, we utilize modern diagnostic equipment to quickly and accurately diagnose ectopic pregnancies:
Our experienced medical team offers personalized treatment plans based on individual patient circumstances, gestational age, and overall health status, providing the most appropriate treatment or surgery options for ectopic pregnancy.
| Treatment Category | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Management | Methotrexate Therapy | For early, unruptured ectopic pregnancies, we offer methotrexate injection - a non-surgical treatment that stops cell growth and allows the body to reabsorb the pregnancy tissue. This approach preserves the fallopian tube and maintains future fertility potential. |
| Minimally Invasive Surgery | Laparoscopic Surgery | Our skilled surgeons perform advanced laparoscopic procedures using small incisions and specialized instruments. This minimally invasive approach reduces recovery time, minimizes scarring, and provides excellent visualization for precise treatment. |
| Emergency Surgical Care | Emergency Intervention | In cases of rupture or severe bleeding, our emergency surgical team is available 24/7 to perform life-saving procedures. Our operating theaters are equipped with advanced technology for rapid, safe surgical intervention. |
| Conservative Management | Expectant Management | In select cases where pregnancy hormone levels are declining naturally, we provide careful monitoring and supportive care, allowing the body to resolve the ectopic pregnancy naturally under close medical supervision. |
Recovery and follow-up care are crucial components of ectopic pregnancy treatment. Our comprehensive post-treatment program includes:
