Artwork showing multiple ectopic pregnancies
Multiple ectopic pregnancy. Artwork of multiple ectopic pregnancies. Embryos are seen as circular structures which have implanted in the ovaries (centre right), fallopian tubes (at upper right and centre) and in the cervix (at bottom left). In ectopic pregnancy, the embryo implants outside the uterus (the triangular structure at centre left). Most ectopic pregnancies develop in the fallopian tubes, the others seen here are rare occurrences. As the ectopic pregnancy develops the growing embryo may rupture the surrounding tissues causing serious bleeding. Surgery is performed to remove the embryo, and to repair or remove the area of implantation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the complexity and severity of multiple ectopic pregnancies, a rare occurrence within the realm of reproductive pathology. The print depicts circular structures representing embryos that have implanted in various atypical locations throughout the female reproductive system. The ovaries, fallopian tubes, and even the cervix serve as unconventional sites for embryo implantation in these cases. Ectopic pregnancy refers to when an embryo implants outside of its natural habitat - the uterus. In this thought-provoking image, we can observe how this triangular structure is absent from its usual position. As these ectopic pregnancies progress, they pose significant risks to maternal health. The growing embryos may rupture surrounding tissues, leading to severe bleeding and potential life-threatening complications. Consequently, surgical intervention becomes necessary to remove the developing embryo while also repairing or removing any affected areas. This artwork not only sheds light on a disorder that affects countless women but also serves as a reminder of the critical role played by healthcare professionals in managing such conditions. By bringing attention to this medical phenomenon through visual representation, Science Photo Library contributes valuable knowledge and awareness regarding ectopic pregnancies and their impact on reproductive health.
