Five Types of Women Prone to Ectopic Pregnancy
Ms. Zhou, 32, visited a gynecological hospital due to an ectopic pregnancy. Since starting work in 2004, she had consistently attracted many suitors. Over the years, she underwent three surgical abortions and one medical abortion. When she finally married her last boyfriend and started a family, tragedy struck.Her first pregnancy after marriage was ectopic. During that surgery, one of her fallopian tubes was removed. In early September this year, Ms. Zhou experienced abnormal symptoms again. Diagnosis revealed another nightmare scenario: another ectopic pregnancy.
To preserve her fertility, Ms. Zhou and her family consulted extensively and chose a minimally invasive gynecological procedure at a hospital, hoping to save the affected fallopian tube. Otherwise, she would never be able to conceive again.According to gynecological specialists, repeated abortions had caused inflammation in Ms. Zhou's uterine cavity and fallopian tubes, which was the primary cause of her ectopic pregnancies.
Women with chronic salpingitis
Under normal circumstances, the fallopian tubes transport the fertilized egg to the uterine cavity through the movement of cilia and the peristalsis of the smooth muscles.Women with chronic salpingitis experience inflammation and pathological changes that hinder the fertilized egg's journey to the uterine cavity.
Women with underdeveloped or malformed fallopian tubes
Pathologies such as underdeveloped tubal muscle layers or lack of cilia in the endometrium impair the tubes' ability to transport the fertilized egg. Malformed fallopian tubes also prevent the fertilized egg from reaching the uterine cavity smoothly.
Women with reopened blocked fallopian tubes
Whether reopened naturally or surgically, the tubes are no longer as unobstructed as before. The reopened area tends to be narrower, making it easier for the fertilized egg to become lodged and implant there.
Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy
If planning another pregnancy without identifying and addressing the cause of the previous ectopic pregnancy, the risk of ectopic pregnancy in the new pregnancy is higher than average.
Therefore, women prone to ectopic pregnancy must note the following:
1. Upon confirming pregnancy, undergo a comprehensive early pregnancy examination at the hospital within six weeks of missed period;
2. During childbearing years, if you experience a brief absence of menstruation followed by unexplained dull pain or a sensation of heaviness on one side of the lower abdomen, be highly vigilant for the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy.
