Experts reveal: Common causes of ectopic pregnancy

The cause of ectopic pregnancy is a topic of great concern to many female friends, especially those who want to get pregnant recently. Understanding and knowing the causes of ectopic pregnancy can help them better prevent ectopic pregnancy. In view of this, here are some common causes of ectopic pregnancy .

Common causes of ectopic pregnancy include:

1. Reproductive tract infection

Gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis and cervicitis, may infect the fallopian tubes and cause inflammation of the fallopian tubes. 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, so this may be one of the causes of ectopic pregnancy.

2. Have had abdominal surgery

The cesarean section rate is on the rise, and ectopic pregnancies occurring in uterine scars are also increasing. In addition, appendicitis perforation is a common cause of ectopic pregnancy, and appendectomy increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 1.8 times.

3. Excessive smoking and drinking

Nicotine and alcohol can affect the movement of fallopian tube cilia, which is also 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.

4. Improper contraceptive methods

Contraceptive pills affect the levels of estrogen and progesterone, which in turn affect the peristalsis of the fallopian tube wall, ciliary activity, and secretion of epithelial cells. This is also a common cause of ectopic pregnancy. If hormone imbalance occurs, it will affect the transport of the fertilized egg and cause tubal pregnancy. Some women lack self-protection awareness and do not have long-term contraceptive measures. Abusing contraceptive pills will increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

The above is an explanation of the common causes of ectopic pregnancy, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once a female friend suffers from ectopic pregnancy, she must go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid serious consequences.
