Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly difficult for couples to conceive. When a family learns about the arrival of a new life, it is a particularly happy occasion for them. If it is discovered that the pregnant woman has an ectopic pregnancy, the whole family becomes especially worried because ectopic pregnancy not only endangers the pregnant woman’s health but also affects the happiness of the family. Why are there more and more cases of ectopic pregnancy nowadays? These three reasons are the direct triggers.
1. Miscarriage, sterilization, contraception
We all know that when a woman undergoes a miscarriage surgery, medical instruments need to be inserted into the woman’s uterus, which can easily damage the uterus and nearby fallopian tubes during this process, thus increasing the likelihood of ectopic pregnancy in the future. Additionally, women undergoing sterilization and taking contraceptive pills can cause certain harm to their bodies.
2. Alcohol consumption, smoking
3. Congenital genetic and disease factors
If a woman has conditions such as congenital ovarian dysplasia or abnormalities in the fallopian tubes, it is highly likely to lead to the problem of ectopic pregnancy. Some common gynecological diseases may also cause ectopic pregnancy in women. For example, pelvic inflammatory disease and appendicitis can also lead to ectopic pregnancy because these gynecological inflammations can cause blockage and compression of the fallopian tubes in women, thereby affecting the implantation of the fertilized egg. Therefore, women should cultivate good hygiene habits from a young age, maintain menstrual hygiene, and avoid gynecological inflammation problems. If a woman has congenital defects or developmental issues, she should seek medical attention early to prevent ectopic pregnancy.
