Patient's question:
I had an IUD inserted three years ago, and my periods have always been very regular. However, this month my period was delayed by a week, and I've been feeling nauseous and vomiting. After a check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy. How could this happen? Please ask: How much does it cost to check for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. Chronic inflammation is the main cause of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, women should pay close attention to gynecological diseases. If they suffer from any gynecological condition, they must seek timely treatment to avoid affecting the fallopian tubes. When the fallopian tube function is abnormal, the fertilized egg may develop outside the uterine cavity.
2. Women who have had a history of ectopic pregnancy have a higher likelihood of experiencing it again, and it may occur in the same location. Therefore, it is essential to prepare for breastfeeding before planning to have children.
3. Bad habits: If a woman has bad habits, it may be more beneficial for pregnancy. For example, long-term drinking of beer or smoking can affect the activity of the fallopian tubes, causing the tube lumen to deform and increasing its swaying ability, which is more conducive to the implantation and development of the fertilized egg.
