surgically removed.

The incidence of ectopic
pregnancy increased by 63
per cent between 1970 and
‘1980. Altogether, there were
30,000 ectopic pregnancies,
16 of which were fatal, in
that decade. ‘

_pregnancy occurs because
scar tissue in the Fallopian
‘tube interferes with a fertil-
ized egg’s passage to the
uterus, - causing the egg to
“stick to the tube.

. The scar. tissue probably
‘results from sexually
transmitted diseases such as
gonorrhea, or from pelvic
‘inflammatory disease or
chlamydia (a serious yeast
infection).
