Surgeru: The only treatment is surgery. The rupture timing is variable and IF THERE IS ANY SUSPICION that this may be the reason for LOWER ABDOMINAL PAIN and MISSED PERIOD a EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT is medically necessary! Hope this helps Good luck Dr Z

Ectopic pregnancy: "Ectopic" means outside of normal location, and depending on where the pregnancy occurs can be life threatening, so treatment is almost always indicated. The symptoms are prolonged bleeding and cramping in one side of the lower abdomen. Consult a healthcare provider for correct diagnosis and treatment, Do not delay.
