What are the main causes of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

After 42 days of menopause, a weak positive and urine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) positive test result was detected. Ultrasound showed no adnexa in the uterus. Before the detailed ultrasound examination, a small amount of dark red blood had already started to flow (similar to the start of a normal menstrual period). The doctor mentioned the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

The main cause of ectopic pregnancy is tubal inflammation, tubal mucosal inflammation, or abnormalities in the development of the fallopian tubes, such as surrounding inflammation, fallopian tube malformations, or fallopian tube surgery. These factors can easily lead to ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to avoid gynecological inflammation as much as possible. Before conception, it is best to undergo a fallopian tube examination to check for malformations, blockages, or inflammation in the fallopian tubes. This can help prevent ectopic pregnancy.
