Embarazo abdominal; Embarazo tubárico; Embarazo cervical
Es probable que la mayoría de las formas de embarazos ectópicos que ocurren por fuera de las trompas de Falopio no sean prevenibles. Sin embargo, un embarazo tubárico (el tipo más común de embarazo ectópico) puede en algunos casos prevenirse, evitando afecciones que podrían ocasionar cicatrización en las trompas de Falopio.
