Ectopic pregnancies

This month’s Ask the Expert session focuses on understanding ectopic pregnancy a serious and often misunderstood condition. Join us as David Ogutu, Medical Director and Consultant Gynaecologist, guides us through what an ectopic pregnancy is, why it happens, and how it’s diagnosed and treated.

 

Together, we’ll explore common symptoms to watch for, such as abdominal pain, unusual bleeding, and shoulder tip pain, and learn why early detection is so important. We will also discuss risk factors, treatment options (including medication and surgery), and what future fertility might look like after an ectopic pregnancy.

 

Whether you’ve experienced an ectopic pregnancy, are trying to conceive, or simply want to be better informed, this session offers essential clinical insight, practical advice, and the opportunity to ask questions in a supportive, expert-led setting.
