summary

Wife was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, very uncomfortable, later had to use the way to terminate pregnancy, the doctor diagnosed as abnormal tubal disease. Let's take a look at the causes of ectopic pregnancy.

What are the causes of ectopic pregnancy

One of the reasons: tubal abnormalities statistics show that in all pregnancies, about 1% is ectopic pregnancy, and 97% of ectopic pregnancy occurs in the fallopian tube, the other about 3% occurs outside the fallopian tube, it can be said that tubal abnormalities is the most important factor leading to ectopic pregnancy.

The second reason: the fertilized egg migrates. The fertilized egg is fertilized in one side of the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg enters the contralateral fallopian tube through the uterine cavity or abdominal cavity, which is called the fertilized egg migrates. If the migration time is too long and the fertilized egg development is increased, it can be implanted in the contralateral fallopian tube to form tubal pregnancy.

The third reason: assisted reproductive technology from the earliest artificial insemination to the current commonly used ovulation induction drugs, as well as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (1vf-et) or gamete tubal transfer (gift) and so on, all have ectopic pregnancy, and the incidence rate is about 5%, which is higher than that of general ectopic pregnancy. The related predisposing factors were fallopian tube disease before operation, pelvic surgery history, technical factors of embryo transfer, quantity and quality of implanted embryos, hormone environment, excessive transfer fluid during embryo transfer, etc.

matters needing attention

If ectopic pregnancy is not diagnosed or treated, the embryo will continue to grow until the fallopian tube rupture, the rupture of the fallopian tube will cause serious abdominal pain and bleeding, serious even lead to female death, in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, must be treated in time.
