Why is ectopic pregnancy more common?

Patient's question:

Why is ectopic pregnancy more common? Are there any methods to prevent ectopic pregnancy? Can you not have a baby if you have an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

The main manifestation of ectopic pregnancy is that the gestational sac implants not in the uterine cavity but in other places outside the cavity, with the fallopian tube being the most common site. The primary cause of ectopic pregnancy is inflammation of the fallopian tube, as well as developmental abnormalities or functional disorders of the fallopian tube. The main method of preventing ectopic pregnancy is to prevent local infections. Once ectopic pregnancy is detected, the pregnancy cannot be carried to term, nor can it be considered as an early pregnancy.
