Can unobstructed fallopian tubes lead to ectopic pregnancy?

There is no necessary connection between the patency of the fallopian tubes and the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. It does not mean that ectopic pregnancy will not occur if the fallopian tubes are patency. Ectopic pregnancy is related to many reasons, so friends should not think that there will be no ectopic pregnancy if the fallopian tubes are unobstructed. The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are more painful than normal conception, so friends need to pay more attention.

Not necessarily. The fallopian tubes are unobstructed, but if there is pelvic inflammatory disease, there is still a possibility of ectopic pregnancy. In addition, if the fallopian tube is unobstructed but does not function well, is relatively stiff, and has poor peristalsis, ectopic pregnancy is also prone to occur, which is often the main cause of ectopic pregnancy.

2. Clinical manifestations of ectopic pregnancy

1. Menopause

Except for pregnancy in the fallopian tube interstitial region, which lasts for a longer period of time, most cases last for 6 to 8 weeks. 20% to 30% of patients have no obvious history of amenorrhea, or their menstruation is only delayed by two or three days.

2. Vaginal bleeding

After the death of the embryo, there is often irregular vaginal bleeding, which is dark red in color and small in amount, generally not exceeding the amount of menstruation. A small number of patients have heavy vaginal bleeding, similar to menstruation, and may be accompanied by the discharge of decidual fragments.

3. Syncope and shock

Due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding and severe abdominal pain, mild cases may experience fainting, while severe cases may suffer from hemorrhagic shock. The more and faster the bleeding, the quicker and more severe the symptoms appear, but they are not proportional to the amount of vaginal bleeding.

3. How to prevent ectopic pregnancy

1. Pregnancy and proper contraception

Choose a time when both parties are in a good mood and physical condition to get pregnant. If you are not considering becoming a mother for the time being, you must take good contraceptive measures. Good contraception fundamentally prevents the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.

2. Timely treatment of reproductive system diseases

Inflammation is the main culprit for fallopian tube stenosis. Intrauterine operations such as artificial abortion increase the chance of inflammation and endometrium entering the fallopian tube, which in turn leads to adhesion and stenosis of the fallopian tube, increasing the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Timely treatment of these diseases can reduce the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.

3. Try IVF

If you have had an ectopic pregnancy before, you can choose in vitro fertilization. After the sperm and egg successfully "get married" in vitro, the fertilized egg can be sent back to the mother's uterus for safe gestation.

4. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, delivery and postpartum period to prevent infection of the reproductive system. Determine the location of pregnancy as soon as possible after menopause to detect ectopic pregnancy in time.
