Why does ectopic pregnancy still occur after IUD insertion?

Some female friends found that they had an ectopic pregnancy after having an IUD inserted. They were very puzzled about this situation. So why did an ectopic pregnancy still happen after having an IUD inserted? Next, this article will introduce you to the relevant content in this regard for your reference only. Friends who want to know more about this can take a look! Please see the detailed introduction below.

IUD contraception is the choice of many women. It has the advantages of long contraceptive duration, convenience, and good contraceptive effect. Moreover, IUD contraception does not affect endocrine. However, IUD insertion may cause ectopic pregnancy.

Why does ectopic pregnancy still occur after IUD insertion? The specific reasons are as follows:

1. IUD insertion can only prevent pregnancy in the uterus, but cannot prevent pregnancy outside the uterus. Moreover, according to relevant information, the longer the IUD is used, the higher the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy rarely occurs in patients who have used the IUD within 2 years, so regular check-ups are required after the IUD is inserted.

2. Another reason is that after the IUD is inserted, the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy is related to pelvic inflammatory infection, so a gynecological examination should be performed before the IUD is inserted to check for inflammation. At the same time, attention should be paid to sexual hygiene after the IUD is inserted. Because IUD insertion can cause ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to take precautions and conduct follow-up examinations after insertion.

From the above, it can be seen that regular check-ups after IUD insertion are very necessary, and more attention should be paid to preventing gynecological disease infections. If infected with gynecological diseases, IUD insertion should be done after recovery. In daily life, if female friends experience amenorrhea, abdominal pain, or irregular vaginal bleeding, they should be alert to the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy and seek examination and treatment as soon as possible.

How should women prevent ectopic pregnancy after having an IUD inserted?

1. For those suspected of ectopic pregnancy with an IUD, comprehensive, detailed and serious examinations and tests should be conducted to prevent unexpected events.

2. We must have a clear understanding of the problem that ectopic pregnancy can still occur after the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive device. If a woman with an intrauterine device experiences amenorrhea or has irregular vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, etc., especially for women who have had the intrauterine device in place for a long time, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy should be considered first. Generally speaking, the rate of ectopic pregnancy after intrauterine contraceptive device placement increases with the duration of placement.

In short, IUDs can cause ectopic pregnancy, so women with IUDs need to have regular check-ups and replace the IUD in a timely manner if it has been in place for a long time. And pay attention to preventing gynecological diseases in daily life to reduce the incidence of ectopic pregnancy.

The above is an introduction on why ectopic pregnancy can still occur after IUD insertion. I believe that after reading the above introduction, you already know the answer. In fact, ectopic pregnancy can still occur after the IUD is inserted, especially for those who have had the IUD inserted for a long time and have not changed the IUD. The chance of ectopic pregnancy is still relatively high, so women with IUDs must change the IUD regularly!
