Many women diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy lacked prior awareness and understanding of the condition. Post-treatment, patients experienced significant psychological distress and negative feelings toward healthcare professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Gynecology
  • Patient Experience

Context:

  • Ectopic pregnancy diagnosis and management present significant challenges.
  • A substantial proportion of women undergoing treatment have prior fertility issues.
  • Patient understanding and awareness of ectopic pregnancy are often limited.

Purpose:

  • To explore the lived experiences of women treated for ectopic pregnancy.
  • To assess patient understanding and perceived timeliness of diagnosis.
  • To evaluate the psychological impact and emotional responses following treatment.

Summary:

  • Survey of 31 women post-ectopic pregnancy treatment revealed limited prior knowledge (16%) and understanding (29%) of the condition.
  • A significant number felt diagnosis was delayed (45%) and expressed negative emotions towards healthcare providers (74%).
