What causes ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my wife is pregnant and was carefully diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. But we don't know how ectopic pregnancy is caused.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Your wife has carefully checked and found an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is often seen in cases where the fallopian tubes are not fully open. After sperm and egg combine, the fertilized egg cannot normally reach the uterine cavity to implant, but instead implants and grows outside the uterine cavity, forming an ectopic pregnancy. The embryo in an ectopic pregnancy cannot grow normally, and when it reaches a certain stage, it may lead to a miscarriage or rupture.
