Introduction to the high-risk groups for common ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is a common gynecological disease, which means that the embryo is implanted somewhere outside the uterine cavity after a woman becomes pregnant. So who are the high-risk groups for ectopic pregnancy ? The following will tell you about the common high-risk groups for ectopic pregnancy.

Generally, the high-risk groups for ectopic pregnancy are:

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and salpingitis: Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is the most common factor that interferes with the normal operation of the fertilized egg and is a common and main cause of ectopic pregnancy. The cause of salpingitis is mainly the pathogens that cause sexually transmitted diseases, common ones are gonococci and Chlamydia trachomatis. Inflammation causes adhesion, stenosis, and irregularity of the fallopian tube mucosa. These pathological changes lead to weakened peristalsis of the fallopian tube wall muscles, thereby affecting the transportation of fertilized eggs. The fertilized egg is blocked in the fallopian tube, which means it may implant and develop in situ, resulting in tubal pregnancy. This is one of the most common high-risk groups for ectopic pregnancy.

People with appendicitis perforation are also a common high-risk group for ectopic pregnancy. Appendicitis perforation forms periappendiceal abscess, which affects and blocks the fallopian tubes, increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy by 2 times.

Those with a history of ectopic pregnancy: Those who have had an ectopic pregnancy once have a higher chance of having another ectopic pregnancy, and they are also a high-risk group for ectopic pregnancy. Those who retain the fallopian tubes during ectopic pregnancy treatment have a higher rate of ectopic pregnancy, but repeated ectopic pregnancies often occur in the contralateral fallopian tube, suggesting that both fallopian tubes may have the same potential dysfunction.

Smokers: In recent years, it is believed that smoking may be an independent risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. Nicotine can cause reverse peristalsis of fallopian tube cilia and disrupt the normal activity of the fallopian tube, delaying the entry of the egg into the uterus or delaying the formation and implantation of the blastocyst. In addition, smoking also increases the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease and causes abnormal anatomical structure of the fallopian tube, thus increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy for smokers. This is also a common high-risk group for ectopic pregnancy.
