Question

How is it possible for an ovum to be fertilized outside of the uterine tube?

Answer 1

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus About 90 percent of ectopic pregnancies occur when the embryo implants in one of the fallopian tubes. It could also attach to the cervix or abdominal cavity.Most cases occur in the fallopian tube and are thus sometimes called tubal pregnancies. The fallopian tubes are not designed to hold a growing embryo; thus treatment is necessary for this condition.

An infection or inflammation of the fallopian tube can cause it to become partially or entirely blocked.thus preventing egg to travel to the uterine wall where it is normaly implanted, or sometimes Scar tissue from a previous infection or a surgical procedure on the tube may also impede the egg’s movement.or Abnormal growths or a birth defect can result in an abnormality in the tube’s shape, leading to ectopic pregnancy.
