Situation of Pregnant Women in Ciego de Avila Analyzed |
|
|
Monday, May 20, 2019
Havana.- The healthcare system in the eastern Cuban province of Ciego de Avila is analyzing the situation of ectopic pregnancies in the territory, which shows an increase in incidence.
According to experts, in 2018, the province reported 232 ectopic pregnancies and so far this year, those cases total 53, so there is an alarming increase of the problem.
Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the ovum, after being fertilized, does not move to the uterus for normal implantation and development, due to obstructions in the tubes, so it grows in that structure and causes internal bleeding.
The beginning of sexual relations at younger ages, and having sex without a condom expose women of reproductive age to risk their health.
Other causes are smoking, previous ectopic pregnancies, pregnancy after a failed tubal ligation, manipulation of internal organs of patients to implant intrauterine devices.
