Some knowledge of basic first aid could mean the difference between life and death. Consider doing a first aid course, so that you will be able to manage if someone is injured or becomes ill. CPR is a life-saving skill that everyone should learn. Keep a range of first aid kits handy at home, in the car and at work.
Things that make you more likely to have fallopian tube damage and an ectopic pregnancy include: 1  Smoking. The more you smoke, the higher your risk of an ectopic pregnancy. 2  Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This is often the result of an infection such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.
Ectopic pregnancy results from a delay in the passage of the fertilized ovum through Fallopian tube. This delay can result from anatomical abnormalities of the tubes, such as constriction and false passage formation (e.g. diverticulum), or from tubal dysfunction as altered contractility or abnormal ciliary activity.
