Best Treatment for Ectopic pregnancy in Women | Dr. Bihani
Best Treatment for Ectopic Pregnancy in Women by Dr. Bihani. In a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg travels through the fallopian tube to implant in the uterus. However, in an ectopic pregnancy, the egg implants outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube. This condition cannot result in a healthy pregnancy and may lead to serious health complications. Dr. Shraddha Bihani is a leading specialist in Indore, offering expert treatment for ectopic pregnancies, ensuring the best care for women’s health.
