What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?
An ectopic pregnancy is a gestation that develops outside the uterus and usually in a fallopian tube. This situation may be fatal since the embryo’s growth can cause a rupture of the tube. This has necesarily to be treated through medication or even a surgical procedure.
A medical abortion with Misoprostol (Cytotec – 200mcg) doesn’t treat a pregnancy outside the uterus.
To make sure that your pregnancy develops in the uterus, you just need to get an ultrasound. If you haven’t done an ultrasound and decide to end your pregnancy with Misoprostol (Cytotec – 200mcg), keep in mind that an ectopic pregnancy can happen and you must confirm first if this is happening to you. If you decide to go on with the abortion with Misoprostol (Cytotec – 200mcg) and you don’t bleed or expel tissue, then maybe you have an ectopic pregnancy.
If you start to feel a sudden severe pain in your stomach, back or shoulder area; if you feel weak or even pass out, you may have an ectopic pregnancy and that your fallopian tube has split open. You must rush to the hospital immediately! An ectopic pregnancy is treated anywhere, even in countries where abortion is highly restricted.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg fails to implant in the womb. It grows, as it should, but in a place other than the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. (17) The fallopian tube is a small tube through which the fertilized egg passes on its way from the ovary to the uterus. If the pregnancy continues, the embryo will grow and will become too large for the fallopian tube, causing its rupture. Ectopic pregnancies cannot be carried until the end and have to be removed in order to save the woman’s life. A proper treatment recommended by a gynecologist is, therefore, necessary to ensure her good health. If it remains untreated, there will be a high risk of a heavy internal bleeding due to the rupture of the fallopian tube.
Performing a medical abortion by taking Misoprostol (Cytotec – 200mcg) doesn’t provoke an ectopic pregnancy, but also doesn’t treat it (05). If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, there are no additional complications associated with performing a medical abortion. There is no evidence that suggests a medical abortion can lead to unusual complications in women with an ectopic pregnancy (21).
If it doesn’t get treated, the embryo may continue to develop outside the womb, even after the use of Misoprostol (Cytotec – 200mcg) (18). Gynecologists treat women in this condition in all countries, even in those whose access to abortion is highly restricted. A pregnant woman who has any of the following symptoms may be facing an ectopic pregnancy (17): abdominal or pelvic pain, cramps on one side of the pelvis, small amounts of unusual vaginal bleeding, soreness, nausea chest pain in lower back.
