Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Levels and its Role in Ectopic Pregnancy Diagnosis
An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. Unfortunately, the pregnancy cannot be saved and can cause significant health risks to the mother. Where not detected promptly, this can lead to severe harm, such as loss of a fallopian tube, resulting in potential reduced future fertility.
