These seven types of women are more susceptible to ectopic pregnancy. Come and see if you are one of them!

I believe many women have heard of ectopic pregnancy, but most women are not unfamiliar with how ectopic pregnancy is formed. According to gynecologists: Under normal circumstances, the fertilized egg settles in the female uterine cavity and slowly develops into a fetus. However, if the fertilized egg does not reach the uterus safely during this process, but settles somewhere else, this is what is clinically called an ectopic pregnancy. The following will explain to you seven types of women who are prone to ectopic pregnancy. Come and see if you are here!

1. Repeated abortion: In recent years, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy has increased by 4-6 times, which is mainly related to the fact that modern women do abortion without restraint. Frequent abortion will cause trauma to the uterus, and the embryo will not be easy to implant in the uterus, so it will move to other places to settle down.

2. Fallopian tube problems: People with acute or chronic salpingitis have congestion and edema of the fallopian tube mucosa, adhesions of the mucosal walls, which narrow the lumen and weaken the peristalsis of the tubal wall muscles, which is not conducive to the movement of the fertilized egg and can lead to ectopic pregnancy.

3. Smoking and alcoholism: After investigating the incidence of ectopic pregnancy among married women who smoke and non-smokers, it was found that smokers are 1.5-4.0 times more likely to suffer from ectopic pregnancy than non-smokers. This is because nicotine in tobacco can change the cilia movement of the fallopian tube. In addition, it was found that women who drink alcohol for a long time or drink a lot suddenly have a narrow fallopian tube cavity, low cilia swing function, and poor motility of the fallopian tube wall, which is not conducive to the fertilized egg to settle in the uterus.

4. Taking ovulation drugs: Some women take ovulation-inducing drugs because they cannot conceive normally, which can also cause unintended pregnancy.

5. Suffering from endometriosis: Endometriosis caused by various reasons such as retrograde menstruation is a high-risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. Especially when it is in the interstitial part of the endometrium, it is very likely that the fertilized egg will settle there.

6. Ovarian swelling: Women with uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts may experience displacement of the uterus and fallopian tubes and changes in shape due to the compression of the tumor, which may hinder the normal implantation of the fertilized egg and may also cause ectopic pregnancy.

7. History of ectopic pregnancy: If you have had an ectopic pregnancy, the chance of having another ectopic pregnancy is very high, so you must get pregnant under the guidance of a doctor and have regular prenatal checkups.

Warm reminder: Ectopic pregnancy is fatal to the female body. If your period is late, you should also go to the hospital for relevant examinations to rule out ectopic pregnancy after using a pregnancy test strip. This is not only responsible for your own body, but also for the baby in your belly. Remember!
