What are the main causes of ectopic pregnancy?

Nowadays, most of the pregnant patients have ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is becoming more and more common in today's society, so many people are gradually paying attention to the causes of ectopic pregnancy . Next, let's take a look at the knowledge in this regard.

1. Smoking and drinking a lot will increase the chance of ectopic pregnancy. This is one of the causes of ectopic pregnancy. Studies have shown that nicotine and alcohol can affect the cilia of the fallopian tube and induce ectopic pregnancy. According to statistics, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in smokers is 1.5-4 times higher than that in non-smokers.

2. Improper selection of contraceptive methods can also lead to ectopic pregnancy, which is also an important cause of ectopic pregnancy. Contraceptive pills will affect the levels of estrogen and progesterone, and then affect the peristalsis of the fallopian tube wall, ciliary activity and the secretion of epithelial cells. If the hormones are out of balance, it will affect the transportation of the fertilized egg and cause ectopic 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.

3. The factors that cause ectopic pregnancy are also caused by reproductive tract infection, such as gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis and cervicitis, which may infect the fallopian tubes and cause ectopic pregnancy. Repeated abortions and the more pregnancies, 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.
