What causes ectopic pregnancy?

An ectopic pregnancy usually refers to the implantation of a fertilized egg outside the uterus, which is considered to be related to fallopian tube problems, contraceptive failure, and other risk factors.

1. Fallopian tube problems: For example, fallopian tube inflammation, fallopian tube dysplasia, fallopian tube tissue tumors, etc. may cause local tissue adhesion, fallopian tube twisting, blockage or stenosis, further hindering the movement of the fertilized egg, causing ectopic pregnancy or infertility.

2. Contraceptive failure: To prevent the failure of intrauterine contraceptive devices or oral emergency contraceptives, the probability of ectopic pregnancy will be higher.

3. Other risk factors: Such as previous in vitro fertilization, long-term smoking and drinking, multiple sexual partners, endocrine abnormalities, and imbalance of sex hormone levels in the body, may increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy is a very dangerous clinical acute abdomen. Once possible symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are found, such as amenorrhea, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, etc., you should seek medical attention immediately.

Note: In order to avoid ectopic pregnancy, women are advised to undergo regular gynecological examinations. At the same time, maintaining good living habits and mentality, avoiding excessive fatigue and mood swings, can also help reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
