New causes of ectopic pregnancy in modern society

The medical research on the causes of ectopic pregnancy has been recorded for a long time, and it can be said to be relatively complete. However, in today's society, the development of science and technology has caused many new causes of ectopic pregnancy. Here, we will briefly introduce the causes of ectopic pregnancy in modern society.

1. IVF: IVF can also cause ectopic pregnancy. According to statistics, the probability of ectopic pregnancy in IVF is 5%-8%. Because when the fertilized egg is placed in the uterine cavity on the third day, it still needs to wait for 3 to 4 days to find the right "soil". During this period, the conditions of the uterine cavity may be destroyed due to factors such as endometritis, and the fertilized egg will move to the fallopian tube to live, causing ectopic pregnancy.

2. Repeated abortion: With the continuous change of traditional concepts, abortion due to premarital sex is becoming more and more common, and repeated abortion can easily become the cause of ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy has increased 5 to 6 times compared with the 1980s. The more abortions you have, the greater the chance of ectopic pregnancy.

3. IUD: According to medical textbooks, about 3% of women with IUDs will still get pregnant. Therefore, even if you have an IUD, if you experience abdominal pain, you should consider ectopic pregnancy.

These are the latest causes of ectopic pregnancy, which are relatively new in the history of Chinese medicine, and there are certain defects in treatment. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital in time and choose an experienced doctor for examination if you encounter this situation, and analyze the cause of ectopic pregnancy in detail before further treatment.
