Causes of Ectopic Pregnancy
When the fallopian tubes or other internal female organs are blocked in some way so that the movement of the fertilized egg is slowed or obstructed, an ectopic pregnancy can result. An ectopic pregnancy means that the egg lodges in some location other than the uterus. This position is not conducive to growth for the egg and a pregnancy cannot be taken to full term. In fact, the mother’s life is in danger.

Where a Fertilized Egg can Lodge
Although the most common place for the fertilized egg to land in ectopic pregnancy is in one of the fallopian tubes (also known as tubal pregnancy), the egg can end up in the ovary, move all the way to the cervix or lodge in the abdominal cavity.
With an ovarian pregnancy, the egg is fertilized while still in the ovary and remains there, implanted in the ovary. This type of pregnancy never usually goes beyond the first four weeks of pregnancy and is considered extremely dangerous as bleeding can occur within the abdomen.

Reasons for an Ectopic Pregnancy Occurring
The general cause of an ectopic pregnancy is damage to the internal female organs that prevents normal travel of the fertilized egg. For instance, if scarring occurred to the fallopian tubes during an infection stemming from an IUD implant, this could be a reason the tubes are affected and the egg could not move through them. If a woman has a birth defect within the fallopian tubes, this could also result in such a pregnancy.
Some other causes of ectopic pregnancy are:
• Complications from a ruptured appendix
• Scarring from surgery on reproductive organs
• Having a previous ectopic pregnancy
• Fertility drug use
• In vitro fertilization
When a woman has had an IUD inserted into the uterus, bacteria can also enter. When these bacteria cause an infection, this can damage the reproductive organs and make an ectopic pregnancy more of a risk. When a woman gets pregnant when wearing an IUD, this increases the chances that it will be ectopic. Pelvic inflammatory disease or sexually transmitted diseases can not only result in infertility but could be a basic cause of ectopic pregnancy.

Sometimes the actual cause is not known, although some doctors suspect that hormonal imbalances may play a part.
Increased Risk of Ectopic Pregnancy
Any woman over the age of 35 has an increased risk of having an ectopic pregnancy. This is not a risk factor that can be changed, but a woman can take care of herself and live a generally healthy life, which reduces the chances of infection and any complications such as an ectopic pregnancy.
