Is ectopic pregnancy hereditary?

Is there a genetic tendency for ectopic pregnancy? Speaking of ectopic pregnancy, I believe everyone is familiar with it. It is a common ectopic pregnancy. The harm and impact of ectopic pregnancy on female friends and their families are extremely great, and it cannot be resolved in a short period of time. So, is there a genetic tendency for ectopic pregnancy? Let's take a look.

First of all, there is no genetic predisposition for ectopic pregnancy, but women who have had ectopic pregnancy are very likely to have another ectopic pregnancy, but the organ where the ectopic pregnancy occurs is usually the contralateral fallopian tube. If a woman's fallopian tube is too long, lacks mucociliary tissue, or has undergone tubal ligation and recanalization, tuboplasty, etc., tubal pregnancy may occur.

About 60% of patients with tubal pregnancy have suffered from salpingitis. Recurrent chronic salpingitis may cause adhesion of tubal mucosal folds, damage of cilia, narrowing of the lumen, or adhesion and twisting of the tubal lumen under the influence of inflammation, which may prevent the normal movement of the fertilized egg and prevent the fertilized egg from reaching the uterine cavity and implanting in the fallopian tube as expected.

Women who have been put in an IUD still have a 3% chance of getting pregnant. Therefore, even if a woman has been put in an IUD, if she has severe abdominal pain, she should consider the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, especially salpingitis, can cause the lumen of the fallopian tube to narrow, preventing the fertilized egg from entering the uterine cavity. The "desperate" fertilized egg can only implant in the fallopian tube or ovary.

With the change of social concepts, premarital sex is becoming more and more common, the incidence of unwanted pregnancy is gradually increasing, and repeated abortions can easily lead to ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, regardless of whether or not female friends have had children, they should take contraceptive measures to avoid ectopic pregnancy.
