A tubal pregnancy, also known as an ectopic pregnancy, occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. This can be a life-threatening condition for the mother if not treated promptly. There are several ways to avoid tubal pregnancy, including using contraception, getting regular checkups, and being aware of the signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy.
Using contraception is one of the most effective ways to prevent tubal pregnancy. Condoms, birth control pills, and intrauterine devices (IUDs) are all effective methods of contraception that can help to prevent pregnancy. Getting regular checkups is also important, as your doctor can check for any signs of ectopic pregnancy and provide you with information on how to avoid it.
