The main causes of ectopic pregnancy

Pregnancy is a good thing, but it is dangerous if it is an ectopic pregnancy. What is ectopic pregnancy, what are the main causes of ectopic pregnancy, and what are the harms of ectopic pregnancy? Do you know these questions? What should you do if your family member suffers from ectopic pregnancy? The following web editor will explain these questions one by one for everyone, hoping to help everyone understand ectopic pregnancy.

The main causes of ectopic pregnancy

1. Reproductive system infection. Gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis and cervicitis, may infect both fallopian tubes and cause salpingitis. After an abortion, the body's own defense mechanism is affected, and the bilateral fallopian tubes are susceptible to bacterial infection, resulting in bilateral peritubal tissue inflammation. For women who undergo repeated abortions, the more frequent the pregnancies, the greater the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Studies have shown that pelvic inflammatory disease can also increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 2.7 times. Therefore, whether pregnant or not, women should do a good job of contraception to avoid the siege of ectopic pregnancy.

2. Some surgical treatments. Nowadays, the cesarean section rate continues to rise, and ectopic pregnancies occurring in uterine scars are also increasing. Moreover, appendicitis perforation is also a high-risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. Appendectomy increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 1.8 times.

3. Improper contraceptive method. Emergency contraception affects the levels of estrogen and estrogens, thereby affecting the peristalsis, microvilli activity and metabolism of squamous epithelial cells in the walls of bilateral fallopian tubes. If the growth hormone is unbalanced, it may affect the transport of sperm and egg and cause fallopian tube pregnancy. Some women lack their own awareness of prevention and have no long-term contraceptive measures. The indiscriminate use of emergency contraception will increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy

1. Abdominal pain: It is a clinical symptom with an incidence rate of over 90%. Patients often feel tearing pain on one side of the lower abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting. In severe cases, symptoms may include dizziness, lightheadedness, sweating, and even shock.

2. Vaginal bleeding: After the test tube embryo dies, irregular small amounts of vaginal bleeding often occur in the form of drops, dark brown in color, intermittent or continuous.

3. History of amenorrhea: 70%~80% of patients have a history of amenorrhea.

4. Syncope and shock: Syncope and shock may occur due to severe abdominal pain and subacute rupture of abdominal capillaries. The patient has pale face, cold limbs, deep and weak pulse, low blood pressure, and the degree of shock is directly proportional to the rate of internal bleeding and capillary rupture, but not directly proportional to vaginal bleeding.

After reading the above introduction, I believe that everyone has already understood the main causes of ectopic pregnancy. There are many reasons for ectopic pregnancy. Everyone must pay more attention to it in daily life and go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination at least once a year to reduce the incidence of ectopic pregnancy. If you find any of the above symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time and take responsibility for your own health.
