Who is prone to ectopic pregnancy?

Every woman is very afraid of ectopic pregnancy, especially some women who will have multiple ectopic pregnancies. At this time, ectopic pregnancy will become the biggest obstacle for women who want to have a baby. Ectopic pregnancy is medically called ectopic pregnancy. In addition to affecting normal pregnancy and childbirth, it will also cause great harm to health, such as causing severe pain, and in severe cases, it can endanger life safety. So which groups of people are more likely to have ectopic pregnancy?

Who is prone to ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy susceptible group 1: those with repeated abortions

In recent years, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy has increased 4 to 6 times, which is mainly related to the fact that modern women have artificial abortions without restraint. Frequent abortions can cause trauma to the uterus, making it difficult for the embryo to implant in the uterus and so it will be transferred to other places to settle down.

Ectopic pregnancy susceptible group 2: fallopian tube disease

People with acute or chronic salpingitis have congestion and edema of the fallopian tube mucosa, adhesion of the mucosal walls, which narrows the lumen and weakens the peristalsis of the smooth muscles of the tube walls, making it difficult for the fertilized egg to move and may lead to ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy susceptible group three: smokers, alcoholics

After investigating the incidence of ectopic pregnancy among married women who smoke and non-smokers, it was found that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in smokers was 1.5 to 4.0 times that of non-smokers. This is because nicotine in tobacco can change the movement of cilia in the fallopian tubes. It was also found that women who drink alcohol for a long time or suddenly drink a lot of alcohol are prone to narrowing of the fallopian tube lumen, low ciliary movement function, and poor peristalsis of the fallopian tube wall, which is not conducive to the fertilized egg settling in the uterus.

Ectopic pregnancy susceptible group 4: Frequent use of ovulation drugs

Some women take ovulation-inducing drugs because they cannot conceive normally, which can also cause ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy susceptible population 5: endometriosis patients

Endometriosis caused by various reasons such as retrograde menstruation is a high-risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. Especially when endometriosis is in the interstitial part of the fallopian tube, there is a high possibility that the fertilized egg will set up camp there.

Ectopic pregnancy susceptible group 6: Suffering from ovarian cysts

For women with uterine fundus fibroids or ovarian cysts, the compression of the tumor may cause the uterus and fallopian tubes to shift and change in shape, thus hindering the normal implantation of the fertilized egg and causing ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy susceptible population seven: have a history of ectopic pregnancy

If a woman who has had an ectopic pregnancy plans to get pregnant again but has not found and eliminated the cause of the previous ectopic pregnancy, there is a high possibility that an ectopic pregnancy will occur again this time.

Some older pregnant women may delay the rescue of ectopic pregnancy because they insist on "preserving the fetus". Some patients finally get pregnant, but when they experience adverse reactions such as bleeding and abdominal pain, they think they have just had a miscarriage and continue to take care of the baby, unwilling to go to the hospital for examination. Some even do not believe the conclusion after the examination and are unwilling to give up the fetus. This may cause ectopic pregnancy, which can be life-threatening if rescue is not timely.

When a pregnant woman with abdominal pain and bleeding goes to the hospital for treatment, telling the doctor about her sexual history and medical history can help the doctor determine the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, but some patients hide the truth from the doctor for personal reasons. If you do not admit your past sexual experiences and history of miscarriage, doctors may overlook gynecological diseases such as ectopic pregnancy during diagnosis, thus affecting treatment.
