Is it possible to have a ectopic pregnancy with twins?
Yes, it is possible to have an ectopic pregnancy with twins. This occurs when both fertilized eggs implant outside of the uterus, typically in the fallopian tubes. Ectopic pregnancies with twins are rare, accounting for only about 1% of all ectopic pregnancies.
Ectopic pregnancies with twins carry the same risks as ectopic pregnancies with a single fetus including:
* Rupture of the fallopian tube, which can lead to life-threatening bleeding
* Infection
* Infertility
* Damage to the fallopian tubes
* Risk of future ectopic pregnancies
Treatment for an ectopic pregnancy with twins involves either medication or surgery to remove the developing embryos. In some cases, the entire fallopian tube may need to be removed to prevent further complications.
