What causes ectopic pregnancy?

There are many types of ectopic pregnancy, among which fallopian tube pregnancy is a relatively common one. The occurrence of ectopic pregnancy is very harmful to both the fetus and the pregnant woman herself, so women must pay attention to prevent it to reduce the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. So how does ectopic pregnancy occur? There are five reasons for ectopic pregnancy. Let us learn about the five reasons for ectopic pregnancy so that we can better prevent the influence of these causes.

1. Salpingitis. When a woman has fallopian tube inflammation, it is very easy to cause fallopian tube pregnancy. For example, bilateral fallopian tube mucosa inflammation can cause ectopic pregnancy. Severe cases can cause complete blockage of the tube lumen and lead to infertility. Bilateral perialsalpingitis can often cause adhesions around the bilateral fallopian tubes, bilateral fallopian tube distortion, or narrowing of the lumen, which can affect the operation of sperm-egg combination.

2. Several abortion surgeries. If women do not pay attention to contraceptive measures and have multiple abortions, the uterine wall will be damaged during the abortion process, which will make it difficult for the test tube embryo to implant in the uterus and migrate to other places to implant, causing ectopic pregnancy.

3. Reasons for IUD. In daily life, many pregnant women will choose IUDs for contraception. The use of IUDs for contraception itself will not increase the probability of ectopic pregnancy. However, if pregnancy occurs accidentally due to the IUD, the probability of ectopic pregnancy will be greater.

4. Bilateral fallopian tube causes. Some women's ectopic pregnancy is closely related to the fallopian tubes. For example, when the fallopian tubes of women are incompletely developed or function abnormally, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be increased. For example, if the fallopian tubes are too long or the muscle layer is poorly developed, it can affect the normal function of the sperm and egg combination and make it impossible for the embryo to implant in the uterus.

5. Cause of the disease. Some diseases can also cause ectopic pregnancy. For example, when there are tumors around the fallopian tubes, the compression of the cysts will affect the smoothness of the fallopian tube lumen, thereby causing obstruction in the combination of sperm and egg. In addition, endometriosis can also increase the probability of embryo implantation in the fallopian tubes. Therefore, if there are these disease factors, you should wait for them to be cured before preparing for pregnancy.

The above are the five common causes of ectopic pregnancy. In addition, there are other factors that can increase the probability of ectopic pregnancy. Women with a history of tubal pregnancy or women with unhealthy lifestyles, such as frequent smoking, drinking, or taking ovulation-inducing drugs, can increase the probability of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, women in the pregnancy preparation stage should pay attention to avoid the influence of these pathogenic factors to prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
