How To Prevent The Occurrence Of An Ectopic Pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy is a complicated pregnancy in which the embryo does not grow in the womb (uterus) but instead implants itself in the fallopian tubes or sometimes ovaries. Ectopic pregnancies can never become successful. If your ultrasound reports have confirmed an ectopic pregnancy, then the only option left with you is to abort it as soon as possible. You are most likely to have an ectopic pregnancy under the following conditions: 
  1. Hormonal imbalances
  2. PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases) and STDs (Sexually-transmitted Diseases) 
  3. Infertility treatment 
  4. IUD pregnancies 
  5. Abdominal or pelvic surgeries in the past 
  6. History of multiple abortions 
  7. History of endometriosis in the past

If you are already pregnant and reading this blog, it is vital for you to get a pregnancy viability scan from a good ultrasound baby scan clinic to rule out an ectopic pregnancy (many ultrasound baby scan clinics in Aylesbury are providing safe and hygienic early pregnancy scans at lower rates). Now let’s come to the prevention part, ectopic pregnancy cannot be entirely prevented but by doing the right things you can at least lower your chances of having one. 

Here’s how you can prevent the occurrence of an ectopic pregnancy

Limit the number of sexual partners 

Having sexual intercourse with multiple partners can increase your chances of having sexually-transmitted diseases or infections so try to avoid the same to be on the safer side. 

Never have unprotected sex 

The best way to avoid sexually-transmitted infections 
or diseases is to have protected sex in case of multiple sex partners. 

Do not smoke 

Smoking is detrimental to your sexual and gynaecological health. Quit smoking today. If you are suffering from nicotine addiction, get professional help today. 

Pay regular visits to the OB-GYN

To ensure that everything is well with your gynaecological health, get regular medical checkups from your OB-GYN doctor. 

If you are not pregnant yet and are trying to conceive, then get rid of your birth control immediately to avoid IUD pregnancies. If you are a pregnant lady, keep a track of your pregnancy by visiting your OB-GYN doctor and ultrasound baby scan clinic to rule out an ectopic pregnancy.
