In his practice Dr Goldstein consults with patients on early pregnancy monitoring. One of the conditions Dr Goldstein checks for is an Ectopic pregnancy, which is when the developing embryo is located outside of the normal uterine cavity. 98% of these are in the fallopian tube. If they develop and rupture, they can cause hemorrhage requiring emergency surgery and transfusion.

Unfortunately, in the United States, ruptured ectopic pregnancy is still the most common cause of death in the first trimester of pregnancy. Sometimes there are risk factors for ectopic pregnancy but most cases are not predictable. Thus, it is extremely helpful when a pregnancy occurs to verify its location as being in the uterus as early as possible. This is done definitively with vaginal sonograms by locating the tiny gestational sac within the uterus. Usually this is seen by as little as one week after a patient is late for her period.

Fortunately, most of Dr. Goldstein’s patients call when they have had a positive home test and they can be seen relatively early so as to insure that the pregnancy is located within the uterus and, by serial observation, to be sure that the pregnancy is developing normally.
