A history of pelvic inflammatory disease or tubal ligation increases a woman's risk for which condition?

gestational diabetes

an ectopic pregnancy

Problems in the fallopian tubes from pelvic inflammatory disease or a tubal ligation mean the fertilized egg may not move normally to the uterus. Scar tissue and damage slow or block transport, so the embryo can implant in the tube itself, leading to an ectopic pregnancy. That’s why a history of PID or tubal surgery raises the risk for an ectopic pregnancy specifically. The other conditions listed have different risk factors not tied to tubal anatomy.

placenta previa

preeclampsia
