How is ectopic pregnancy caused?

Patient's question:

I recently found out I'm pregnant. After a thorough check-up, I discovered it's an ectopic pregnancy. How do you think ectopic pregnancy is caused?

Doctor's answer:

The reasons for recurrent ectopic pregnancy are generally primarily due to the presence of chronic tubal inflammation. This is because sperm and eggs fertilize in the fallopian tubes. Due to chronic tubal inflammation, the fertilized egg moves slowly in the fallopian tubes. By the time it should implant and develop, it has not reached the uterus. As a result, it implants and grows in the fallopian tube, which constitutes an ectopic pregnancy. If ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, it is usually necessary to terminate the pregnancy under the guidance of a doctor as early as possible.
