Analysis of the three most common causes of ectopic pregnancy

There are many reasons for ectopic pregnancy in clinical practice. When treating ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to treat the cause of ectopic pregnancy symptomatically. What are the common causes of ectopic pregnancy? The following is a list of common causes of ectopic pregnancy.

Common causes of ectopic pregnancy include:

1. The cause of ectopic pregnancy is most closely related to the high incidence of reproductive tract infection. Gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis and cervicitis, may infect the fallopian tubes and is a common cause of ectopic pregnancy. After abortion, the body's own defense mechanism is affected, and the fallopian tubes are susceptible to bacterial infection, leading to inflammation of the tissues around the fallopian tubes. For those who have repeated abortions, the more times they get pregnant, the greater the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Studies have shown that pelvic inflammatory disease can also increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 2.7 times.

2. Excessive smoking and drinking can also increase the chance of ectopic pregnancy. Studies have shown that nicotine and alcohol can affect the movement of fallopian tube cilia, which is a common cause of ectopic pregnancy. According to statistics, the incidence rate of smokers is 1.5-4 times higher than that of non-smokers.

3. Women who have undergone abdominal surgery will also have an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy. The cesarean section rate is now on the rise, and ectopic pregnancies occurring in uterine scars are also increasing. In addition, appendicitis perforation is also an important cause of ectopic pregnancy, and appendectomy increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 1.8 times.

The above is an introduction to the common causes of ectopic pregnancy. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you have an ectopic pregnancy, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
