Many patients ask me whenever I met up a client with a diagnosis of Ectopic pregnancy, what is the cause and why did this happen?
My usual answer use to be asymptomatic PID.
But my observations are that, eventhough PID may be the common cause of Ectopic pregnancy, but many took it by surprise. So that made me to keep a close eye on Non PID causes of Ectopic pregnancy.
If the Ectopic pregnancy is on the right side, then chronic appendicitis with adhesions should be thought of.
If the Ectopic pregnancy is on the left or right, then active endometriosis should be thought of.
