Can Yuting cause ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The fallopian tubes can be affected by compression from surrounding tumors such as uterine fibroids or ovarian tumors, especially endometriosis, which causes adhesions around the fallopian tubes and ovaries, potentially obstructing the fallopian tube lumen and hindering the movement of the fertilized egg. Some studies also suggest that defects in the embryo itself, induced abortions, and smoking may be associated with the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
