Several diseases that may cause ectopic pregnancy

The cause of ectopic pregnancy is one of the prerequisites for targeted prevention of ectopic pregnancy. For people with certain diseases or medical histories, it is especially important to understand the cause of ectopic pregnancy. Experts point out that the following diseases may be the cause of ectopic pregnancy and require more attention.

1. History of ectopic pregnancy: Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy are more likely to have another ectopic pregnancy, but interestingly, another ectopic pregnancy usually occurs in the opposite fallopian tube. Therefore, it is emphasized once again that women who are not ready to have a baby must pay attention to stay away from the causes of ectopic pregnancy.

2. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease: Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, especially salpingitis, is a common cause of ectopic pregnancy. Women must not ignore this common gynecological disease. Because salpingitis can narrow the lumen, it is difficult for the fertilized egg to enter the uterine cavity, so it has to "set up camp" in the fallopian tube or ovary.

3. Fallopian tube inflammation: Fallopian tube inflammation is the most common cause of ectopic pregnancy. About 60% of patients with fallopian tube pregnancy have a history of fallopian tube inflammation. Recurrent chronic fallopian tube inflammation causes adhesion of fallopian tube mucosal folds, stenosis of the lumen, damage to cilia, or twisting of the fallopian tube due to adhesion of inflammation to surrounding tissues, which can hinder the normal movement of the fertilized egg, so that the fertilized egg cannot reach the uterine cavity as scheduled, and implants in the fallopian tube.

The causes of ectopic pregnancy are not limited to the above-mentioned ones. Women who do not have a history of the above-mentioned diseases should not ignore the prevention of ectopic pregnancy. The harm of ectopic pregnancy to women is mainly reflected on the fetus. For newlyweds, a healthy baby is their greatest desire, and they must pay attention to stay away from the causes of ectopic pregnancy.
