Why is an ectopic pregnancy so dangerous?

An ectopic pregnancy poses a threat not only to a woman's health, but also to her life. The only way out in such cases is an abortion, and the sooner the better.

If you seek medical help in time if you suspect such a diagnosis, then medical termination of pregnancy is possible. And in more advanced cases, surgical intervention is indicated.

In the absence of timely detection and elimination of an ectopic, there is a rupture of the fallopian tube (as a result of the growth of the embryo) and massive internal bleeding. A fertilized egg may attach in the abdomen, cervix, or ovary, but in most cases it remains in the fallopian tube. This happens under the influence of several risk factors:

• Spikes.

• Use of an intrauterine device.

• Previous operations on the uterus or on the abdominal organs.

• Hormonal imbalance.

• Inflammatory processes of the organs of the reproductive system.

• Infectious diseases.

• Tumors.

• Congenital defects in the structure of the uterus.

• Frequent abortions.

• Endometriosis.

• Frequent stress causing spasms of the fallopian tubes.
