Cervical pregnancies are extremely rare. Women undergoing cervical pregnancies often experience unusual vaginal bleeding. In extreme cases, they may require a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). Why do you think the symptoms and risk occurs with this type of ectopic pregnancy?

Answer:

PLATO ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

Bleeding would occur because the baby is growing near the vaginal canal, which leads to the outside of the body. The cervix is the bottom portion of the uterus, so if the uterus is damaged, the entire uterus may need to be removed.

Answer:

Ectopic pregnancy can cause the burst of fallopian tube. If previous ectopic pregnancy occured then again onset of this type of pregnancy may lead to life threatening bleeding. Having the abdominal surgery before may also proved as a risk.
