Which women are more likely to have ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy causes great physical harm to women of childbearing age. If not treated in time, it may be life-threatening. The following categories are at high risk of ectopic pregnancy.

1. Chronic salpingitis

Women with chronic salpingitis who are planning to have children should actively treat salpingitis to prevent the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes can easily lead to adhesion and narrowing of the fallopian tube mucosa, causing slow peristalsis of the fallopian tube wall muscles, affecting the transport function of the fertilized egg, causing it to be retained in the fallopian tube and implanted and developed locally, resulting in ectopic pregnancy.

2. Patients with appendicitis perforation

Appendicitis perforation is a high-risk factor for ectopic pregnancy, because appendicitis perforation can easily affect the fallopian tubes and cause blockage of the fallopian tubes, which increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy by more than 2 times.

3. Those with a history of ectopic pregnancy

If a woman has had a history of ectopic pregnancy, the chance of having another ectopic pregnancy will greatly increase if the fallopian tubes are preserved, and the next ectopic pregnancy will often be on the opposite side.

4. Those with a history of artificial abortion

Artificial abortion is closely related to the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy, and the more abortions there are, the greater the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, women must learn to protect themselves and take contraceptive measures when they are not ready to give birth.

5. Smokers

Women who smoke for a long time have a relatively high chance of suffering from ectopic pregnancy, because nicotine damage can easily destroy the normal function of the fallopian tubes, increase the risk of women suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease and fallopian tube diseases, and hinder the fertilized egg from entering the uterine cavity smoothly.
