Embarazo ectópico

Nombres alternativos:

Embarazo abdominal; Embarazo tubárico; Embarazo cervical

Prevención:

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, los embarazos tubáricos (el tipo más común de embarazo ectópico) pueden en algunos casos prevenirse, evitando aquellos trastornos que podrían ocasionar cicatrización en las trompas de Falopio. Lo siguiente puede reducir el riesgo de un embarazo tubárico.
