    Abstract

    A total of 32 diagnosed cases were included in the study and evaluated for demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, diagnostic tools used, treatment, risk factors, and morbidity and mortality. The results showed that majority of patients were in the age group of 20-30 years (59.37%) and multiparas (71.87%). Common risk factors included previous abortion and infertility. The common site of ectopic pregnancy was found to be the ampulla of the fallopian tube and the most common presenting complaint was abdominal pain (87.5%). Out of 32 cases, 30 underwent salpingectomy and 2 were managed medically. Morbidity included anemia and blood transfusion in all cases. The study highlights the importance of identifying risk factors and early diagnosis for reducing morbidity and mortality in ectopic pregnancy cases.
