Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year. I don't know if I am pregnant. The test strips didn't show a positive result, but I have missed my period and also have some pregnancy symptoms. Please ask: What are the causes of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
I. Genital tract infection: This includes gynecological inflammation, such as vaginitis and cervicitis, which can descend to the fallopian tubes, causing fallopian tube inflammation. After an induced abortion, the body's own defense mechanisms are affected, making the fallopian tubes more susceptible to bacterial infection, leading to inflammation of the surrounding tissues of the fallopian tubes. Repeated induced abortions increase the likelihood of ectopic pregnancy with each subsequent pregnancy.II. Some surgical procedures: The rate of cesarean sections is now on the rise, and ectopic pregnancies occurring in the scar tissue of the uterus are also increasing.
