Several factors related to the cause of ectopic pregnancy that you need to know

The cause of ectopic pregnancy is a matter of great concern to many female friends, especially those whose family members have suffered from ectopic pregnancy. They worry that ectopic pregnancy is hereditary. So what are the common causes of ectopic pregnancy ? Let's talk about the common causes of ectopic pregnancy.

Common causes of ectopic pregnancy include:

1. Fallopian tube inflammation: Fallopian tube inflammation is the most common cause of ectopic pregnancy. About 60% of patients with fallopian tube pregnancy have a history of fallopian tube inflammation. Recurrent chronic fallopian tube inflammation causes adhesion of fallopian tube mucosal folds, stenosis of the lumen, damage to cilia, or twisting of the fallopian tube due to adhesion of inflammation to surrounding tissues, which can hinder the normal movement of the fertilized egg, so that the fertilized egg cannot reach the uterine cavity as scheduled and implants in the fallopian tube.

2. Abnormal development of the fallopian tube or after fallopian tube surgery: The fallopian tube is too long, the cilia of the mucosa of ectopic pregnancy are absent, or recanalization after tubal ligation, fallopian tubeplasty, etc. may be the cause of ectopic pregnancy.

3. Migratory ovum: This is also a common cause of ectopic pregnancy. When one ovary ovulates, it migrates to the opposite fallopian tube through the uterine cavity or abdominal cavity after fertilization. This is called migratory ovum. As the ovum gradually grows during the migration process, when it cannot pass through the fallopian tube, that is, when it implants in the fallopian tube, tubal pregnancy occurs.

4. Abdominal pregnancy: If the fertilized egg implants and develops in the abdominal cavity, it is an abdominal pregnancy, which is also a common cause of ectopic pregnancy. It often occurs after the rupture of tubal pregnancy or miscarriage, and the pregnant embryo falls into the abdominal cavity and continues to grow on the peritoneum or the surface of other organs. In very few patients, the abdominal pregnancy is primary. That is, the egg cell is fertilized and implanted directly in the abdominal cavity. The incidence of abdominal pregnancy is 1:15,000 births.

The above is an introduction to the common causes of ectopic pregnancy. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you have an ectopic pregnancy, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
