e. Risk factors for developing an ectopic pregnancy include:
• Pelvic inflammatory disease.
• Pelvic surgery/adhesions.
• Previous ectopic pregnancy.
• Endometriosis.
• Assisted fertilisation.
• IUCD.
• Progesterone-only pill.
• Congenital anatomical variants.
• Ovarian/uterine cysts and tumours.
Although previous Caesarean section may result in development of adhesions it is not in itself responsible for future progression onto an ectopic pregnancy.
