What are the causes of high incidence of ectopic pregnancy?

As people's living habits change, the number of patients with ectopic pregnancy in China is increasing. What are the reasons for the high incidence of ectopic pregnancy ? The following will introduce the reasons for the high incidence of ectopic pregnancy.

The most commonly recognized causes of ectopic pregnancy are:

First of all, the high incidence 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. Studies have shown that pelvic inflammatory disease can also increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 2.7 times.

Secondly, women who have undergone abdominal surgery are at an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy. The cesarean section rate is on the rise, and ectopic pregnancies in uterine scars are also increasing. In addition, appendicitis perforation is also a high-risk factor for ectopic pregnancy, and appendectomy increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 1.8 times.

Third, improper selection of contraceptive methods can also lead to ectopic pregnancy. Contraceptive pills can affect the levels of estrogen and progesterone, which in turn affects the peristalsis of the fallopian tube wall, ciliary activity, and secretion of epithelial cells. If hormones are out of balance, 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.

Fourth, 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, leading to ectopic pregnancy. According to statistics, the incidence rate of smokers is 1.5-4 times higher than that of non-smokers.

The above is an introduction to the causes of ectopic pregnancy. Understanding and recognizing the causes of ectopic pregnancy can help female friends better prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. I wish you all good health.
