An ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency that requires immediate intervention. It is a potentially life-threatening condition and must be reported to the requesting health-care provider right away. Endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic inflammatory disease may require medical intervention but are not considered emergency conditions.
