A Case Report: Ectopic Pregnancy Due To Failure of Emergency Contraceptive
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
An ectopic pregnancy is one in which the fertilised ovum becomes implanted in a site other than the normal uterine cavity. It is usually found in early pregnancy. To prevent unwanted pregnancy, emergency contraceptive used has been popular since the last two decades. It is seen to have 99% successful rate if taken within 72 hours after unprotected coitus and of which 1% is seen to have normal pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy. Hormonal contraceptive pills containing 750 microgram levonorgestrel are the most commonly used postcoital contraceptive method because of their high efficacy and fewer side effects. Early diagnosis and detail history collection/physical examination with early management has saved many maternal lives from unwanted risks, shocks, death etc.
