Abstract: Introduction: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized ovum implants at a site outside the uterine cavity. The most common location is within the fallopian tube and the condition can be life threatening due to risks of tubal rupture and hemorrhage. Unless more cases are diagnosed at an early stage, it is difficult to reduce mortality and provide fertility preserving management. Aims and objectives: To analyze various risk factors associated with ectopic pregnancies. Methodology: This is an observational prospective study done over a period of 6 months in the dept of obstetrics and gynecology at MDM Hospital attached to Dr. SN Medical College, Jodhpur. This study included 100 cases of tubal ectopic pregnancy. Results: Most common age group in which ectopic pregnancy were found was between 26 - 30 years age residing in rural area. Most patient were multigravida. Most common risk factor was found to be h/o previous LSCS followed by abortions and tubal surgery. Conclusion: Most cases in this study were received in ruptured condition, rendering conservative management impossible. With global increase in cesarean section rate, the ectopic incidence may inadvertently rise, which is an alarming concern. Awareness of the local trends of ectopic pregnancy, it?s risk factors and diverse clinical presentation is of paramount importance for providing efficient management.
