When female patients discover that they have ectopic pregnancy, they are very worried. The first thing they think about is how they got this disease. There are usually many reasons for ectopic pregnancy, and female friends can only avoid this situation by fully understanding these reasons. So why do women have ectopic pregnancy?
1. Salpingitis is the most common factor leading to ectopic pregnancy. About 60% of patients with tubal pregnancy have a history of salpingitis. Recurrent chronic salpingitis can cause adhesions of the fallopian tube mucosal folds, narrowing of the lumen, damage to cilia, or twisting of the fallopian tube due to inflammation and adhesion to surrounding tissues, which can hinder the normal movement of the fertilized egg and prevent it from reaching the uterine cavity as scheduled and implanting in the fallopian tube.
2. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, especially salpingitis, is another important factor in the onset of ectopic pregnancy, and women must not ignore this common gynecological disease. Because salpingitis can narrow the lumen of the fallopian tube, it is difficult for fertilized eggs to enter the uterine cavity, so they have to "camp" in the fallopian tube or ovary.
3. Repeated abortions. With the continuous change of traditional concepts, premarital sex has become increasingly common, and repeated abortions can easily lead to ectopic pregnancy. The current incidence of ectopic pregnancy has increased by 5-6 times compared to the 1980s. The more abortions there are, the higher the chance of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, regardless of whether they have children or not, women should take good contraceptive measures to prevent the attack of ectopic pregnancy.
4. The fertilized egg migrates. One ovary ovulates, but after fertilization, it moves through the uterine cavity or abdominal cavity to the opposite fallopian tube, which is called the migration of the fertilized egg. Due to the gradual growth of the fertilized egg during the migration process, tubal pregnancy occurs when it cannot pass through the fallopian tube and implants in the fallopian tube.
5. History of ectopic pregnancy. Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy are more likely to experience another ectopic pregnancy, but interestingly, it usually occurs in the contralateral fallopian tube. Therefore, it is emphasized once again that women who are not ready to have a baby must take good contraceptive measures.
The above are the reasons why women are prone to ectopic pregnancy. We hope everyone can have a correct understanding. Ectopic pregnancy is a phenomenon that every woman is worried about. This disease not only causes harm to women's bodies, but also seriously affects their mood. Therefore, everyone must take it seriously and actively take preventive measures to avoid serious harm to themselves and their families. Ectopic pregnancy is a common ectopic pregnancy among women of childbearing age. If left untreated, it can cause serious physical harm to the pregnant mother as the pregnancy progresses, even endangering her life.
