Can emergency contraceptive pills cause ectopic pregnancy?

Emergency contraceptive pills are not a conventional method of contraception, but a remedial measure after contraceptive failure. Long-term use will cause serious side effects and lead to endocrine dysfunction. Many gynecologists believe that emergency contraceptive pills will increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy.

1. Emergency contraceptive pills have many side effects and are very harmful. Female friends are more or less aware of this. The increasing incidence of ectopic pregnancies in recent years is actually related to the commonly used emergency contraceptive pills. Ectopic pregnancy is an extremely dangerous acute abdominal disease. Long-term abuse of emergency contraceptive pills and frequent abortions will increase the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

2. There are many causes of ectopic pregnancy, but the main cause is reproductive tract infection caused by frequent sexual life and repeated abortions. Due to inflammation of the reproductive tract, such as vaginitis and cervicitis, the infection spreads to the fallopian tubes, causing inflammation of the fallopian tubes and causing fallopian tube stenosis. The fertilized egg originally wanted to travel to the uterine cavity to implant and develop, but due to the blockage of the fallopian tubes, it changes its route and "sets up camp" outside the uterus, causing an ectopic pregnancy.

3. Although there is currently no large-sample epidemiological survey evidence in medicine to show that emergency contraceptives can cause ectopic pregnancy, clinical observations show that some patients do experience ectopic pregnancy after taking emergency contraceptives. Therefore, many obstetricians and gynecologists believe that the common use of emergency contraceptives will increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

4. The abuse of emergency contraceptive pills can easily lead to endocrine dysfunction in some people, resulting in fallopian tube abnormalities and infertility, and can also cause ectopic pregnancy in a very small number of people.

5. Be sure to take emergency contraceptive pills according to the instructions in the drug instructions. In addition, it is best not to take emergency contraceptive pills again within 3 months to 6 months. If you have menstrual abnormalities after taking the medicine, you should go to the hospital for examination. Women who do not plan to have children in the near future can take long-acting contraceptives, which have much fewer side effects than emergency contraceptives.
