Is the risk of ectopic pregnancy high during the first pregnancy?

   Pregnancy refers to gestation. Ectopic pregnancy refers to implantation of the embryo outside the uterus. Under normal circumstances, the likelihood of ectopic pregnancy during the first pregnancy is relatively low. The detailed explanation is as follows:

   Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and develops in a location other than the uterine cavity. The most common site is within the fallopian tube, but it may also occur in the ovary, cervix, or abdominal cavity. Ectopic pregnancies are more likely to occur in women with pelvic inflammatory disease, multiple intrauterine procedures, or a history of repeated abortions. Ectopic pregnancy may result from tubal inflammation caused by intrauterine procedures, induced abortions, insertion or removal of intrauterine devices (IUDs), or may be due to congenital abnormalities such as abnormally long fallopian tubes or tubal adhesions. However, since congenital long fallopian tubes or tubal adhesions are relatively rare, the probability of ectopic pregnancy during the first pregnancy is generally low.

   If you are concerned about the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital for evaluation, including transvaginal ultrasound and urine pregnancy tests, to confirm the location and status of the pregnancy.
