Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a common condition involving the implantation of fertilized ovum outside the uterine cavity, accounting for 1-2% of all pregnancies. Tubal EP (TEP) is the most common and poses a significant risk to maternal life. Early diagnosis and medical treatment, such as methotrexate (MTX) and the Fallopian tube (FT), have been studied. However, the efficacy of single-dose methotrexate (SD-MTX) is questionable, and the efficacy of two-dose versus SD-MTX for medical management of EP is being evaluated. High estrogens/progesterone ratios can disrupt embryonic motility and lead to TEP.
