Four groups of people who are prone to ectopic pregnancy

When the fertilized egg stays outside the uterine cavity, it causes an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy seriously endangers women's health and may even deprive women of their right to be mothers. It requires attention. The following are the four major groups of people who are prone to ectopic pregnancy.

1. Those with a history of ectopic pregnancy

If an ectopic pregnancy has occurred before, the chance of another ectopic pregnancy is extremely high; if the fallopian tubes are preserved during the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, the possibility of another ectopic pregnancy is also very high. Such patients must be vigilant and undergo more gynecological examinations.

2. Frequent abortions

Frequent abortions can damage the endometrium, making it difficult for the embryo to implant in the uterus, leading to ectopic pregnancy. Multiple abortions can even cause infertility. The more abortions you have, the greater the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Frequent abortions can also cause endometriosis, which is also a high-risk factor for ectopic pregnancy.

3. Those who have had their fallopian tubes blocked and reopened

The fallopian tubes may become adhered or blocked due to various reasons. Regardless of whether they are recanalized naturally or surgically, the fallopian tubes will not be as unobstructed as before. The recanalized area will be narrower and may even cause varying degrees of damage. Therefore, the fertilized egg may be easily retained in the narrow area.

4. People with chronic salpingitis

Women with chronic salpingitis are also at high risk of ectopic pregnancy. Due to inflammation and lesions, it is difficult for the fertilized egg to reach the uterine cavity.

Long-term inflammatory damage can cause fallopian tube malformation or hypoplasia of the fallopian tube muscle layer, lack of cilia in the endometrium and other lesions, which will reduce the function of the fallopian tube in transporting the fertilized egg and cause ectopic pregnancy.
