Who is prone to ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy, refers to an abnormal pregnancy process in which the fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterine cavity. People who are prone to ectopic pregnancy mainly include women who have repeated abortions, women with fallopian tube problems, women who often smoke and drink, women with chronic gynecological inflammation, and women with a history of ectopic pregnancy. The details are as follows:

1. Women who have repeated abortions: Repeated abortions will damage the normal function of the reproductive tract and increase the incidence of endometriosis. When endometriosis is in the interstitial part of the fallopian tube, the fertilized egg is likely to implant there, increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy. According to research, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy has increased by 4 to 6 times in recent years, which is closely related to the fact that modern women do not control their abortions.

2. Women with fallopian tube problems: fallopian tube inflammation or infection, fallopian tube dysplasia, poor development of the fallopian tube muscle layer, lack of mucosal cilia, fallopian tube malformation, and tumors of the tissues around the fallopian tubes such as uterine fibroids and ovarian tumor compression may all affect the normal operation of the fertilized egg, causing it to be blocked in the fallopian tube and form an ectopic pregnancy.

3. Women who smoke and drink frequently: Nicotine in tobacco will change the cilia movement of the fallopian tube. Long-term drinking or sudden drinking of large amounts of alcohol will narrow the lumen of the fallopian tube, reduce the cilia's swinging function, and reduce the peristalsis of the fallopian tube wall. These are not conducive to the fertilized egg entering the uterus, thereby increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

4. Women with chronic gynecological inflammation: Chronic gynecological inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis or salpingitis are important factors leading to ectopic pregnancy. These inflammations may cause inflammation and scarring of the fallopian tubes, adhesion of mucosal folds, and thus affect the movement of the fertilized egg.

5. Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy: Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy will also have an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy when they become pregnant again. According to research, women with a history of tubal pregnancy have a 10% chance of having another ectopic pregnancy, whether it is naturally absorbed after conservative treatment or undergoes conservative tubal surgery.

In order to avoid the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended that these people undergo a detailed physical examination before preparing for pregnancy, actively treat related diseases, and conceive under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, maintaining good living habits and avoiding bad behaviors such as smoking and alcoholism can also help reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
