What are the main causes of ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is also called ectopic pregnancy in clinical practice. In many pregnant women, ectopic pregnancy is not uncommon. Ectopic pregnancy is very harmful to the human body, so it is necessary to cure it in time. So, what are the main causes of ectopic pregnancy ? Let's learn about it from the following article.

First of all, improper choice of contraceptive method is one of the causes of ectopic pregnancy. 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. If the hormones are out of balance, it will affect the transportation of the fertilized egg and cause tubal pregnancy. Some women lack self-protection awareness, do not have long-term contraceptive measures, and abuse contraceptive pills, which will increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Endometriosis, caused by various reasons such as retrograde menstruation, is a high-risk factor for ectopic pregnancy.

Secondly, 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 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. Frequent abortions will cause trauma to the endometrium, making it difficult for the embryo to implant in the uterus, and it will be transferred to other places to settle down, thus leading to the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.

In addition, women with acute or chronic salpingitis have congestion and edema of the fallopian tube mucosa, adhesion of the mucosal wall, which narrows the lumen and makes it obstructed, and weakens the peristalsis of the smooth muscle of the tube wall, which is not conducive to the movement of the fertilized egg. This is also a complication of ectopic pregnancy.

Finally, heavy 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 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.

The above are the main causes of ectopic pregnancy. I hope it can help everyone understand what ectopic pregnancy is and do a good job of preventing ectopic pregnancy. If you have other questions about ectopic pregnancy, you can contact our online experts to answer your questions.
