Ectopic Pregnancy
Any pregnant patient complaining of unilateral stabbing pain in the lower abdomen/pelvis should be evaluated for ectopic pregnancy.
Methotrexate may be used to dissolve the pregnancy and save the fallopian tube. Surgical intervention may be required if the pregnancy is too large to reabsorb, or has ruptured the fallopian tube.
