Why can't ectopic pregnancies be moved from the tube to the uterus?

Answer 1

Very VERY rarely there have been cases where an ectopic pregnancy has survived, but these were always situated "just barely" in the falopian tube and thus "grew" into the uterus. Unfortunatly once the egg has imbedded (or burried) itself in the uterine lining it cant be dug out and replanted (if only it were that simple) The zygote (fertilised egg) chemically embedds itself to the mother and from there it grows a placenta. Science is unable to make an artificial version of this procedure, and any attempts to "dig out" the egg would probably cause significant damage to it.
hope this helps.

Answer 2

by the time the egg becomes ectopic, it has implanted and made itself a home in the fallopian tube, or wherever else it appears to be. once the egg implants, it has special cells that spread and adhere and the embryo begins dividing. it would be much too complicated to adequately remove all this tissue and transport it to the uterus, and it could result in developmental defects. in addition, an ectopic pregnancy is very serious and jeopardizes the life of the woman, in which case, having an invasive surgery would increase morbidity and it is more logical to do as little damage as possible to the remaining anatomy.

Answer 3

I have the same curiosity! They don't seam to think outside the box! If they surgically remove the foetus and tube- then why attempt "digging or separating from the Fallopian tube? Why can't they transfer egg and tube and sew or glue the tube itself to the womb lining? They could split it ready? They can artificially implant eggs. Surely they could sew the tube to the uterus? Then the egg would not be damaged at all!

Answer 4

Because by the time the condition's discovered the tube has usually ruptured or is about to and the woman's life is in pretty severe danger from peritonitis ... and even assuming that one could retrieve the embryo intact, mother is likely to be far too sick for it to 'take' if it were implanted into the uterus, and will need to be maintained on an emergency feeding/analgesia/fluid balance regime.

Answer 5

Because they are already attached to the inside of the tube. Once you break that attachment the embryo probably can't re-implant itself to the uterine wall. It's probably damaged once you break the attachment.

Answer 6

Too dangerous if you want future conceptions, also while the "baby" is in the tube it is too SMALL to survive the moving.

Answer 7

Because the baby is to undevelpoed to be moved and this can make your tube be scared and never have kids again Seach google
