Ectopic Pregnancy Increasing

An increasing number of women are seeking emergency room care for ectopic pregnancies.  This is when the baby’s growing outside the uterus, most often in a fallopian tube.  A study of over one million women spanning a decade shows a distressing increase.  The cause can be various forms of contraception, primarily the intrauterine device.  Sexually transmitted diseases or pelvic inflammatory diseases could also be the culprit.  This increase creates a serious concern for the wellbeing, fertility and even the lives of women.  The dramatic increase of chemical abortion pills, usually given without checking for an ectopic pregnancy, worries doctors.  Its symptoms are very similar to chemical abortion and abortion advocates are carelessly throwing women to the wolves.
