A pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) is a condition where the exact location of the developing embryo is uncertain. Typically, during a normal pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants in the lining of the uterus. However, in a PUL, the implantation might occur in a fallopian tube, cervix, or other areas outside the uterus. This can lead to severe complications such as tubal rupture and hemorrhage. Early diagnosis is crucial, and methods like ultrasound, blood tests, and MRI can aid in determining the location of the pregnancy. Treatment options vary depending on the patient’s condition and may include medical management or surgical intervention.
