Ectopic pregnancy is very serious and has a bad effect in the woman’s body. It is a pregnancy in which the foetus develops outside the womb, typically in the fallopian tube of which it is very dangerous.
The use of the emergency contraceptives pills is on the rise especially by the young campus ladies, who use them to try to hide their evil act. Survey done by the Kenyatta National Hospital sought to identify the association between the pills, specifically progesterone, and such pregnancies.
According to Dr Mary Maina ectopic pregnancies remain a major cause of deaths in mothers, especially in the developing world. She said the rate of deaths from such pregnancies is 10 times higher in developing countries
It has been released that most of the people who use pills do not use them appropriately. Either they overdose or under dose which is likely to bring bad effect to them.
During the study of the 40th Ruby Annual Scientific Conference Society (Kogs) that was held in Kisumu, over 120 women were diagnosed with ectopic pregnancies.
During the menstrual cycles 27% of women are confirmed to have taken the emergency contraceptives pills. Still under the study report 72% of women take the pills 24 hours after intercourse. The risk of the ectopic pregnancy increase therefore 12 times in women who have pills.
Taking of the emergency contraceptives pills may seem to be a concealing object but the repercussion is of great loss because not only our loved ones needs us but the whole society at large.
