Patient's question:
Did I get an ectopic pregnancy because I took doxycycline? I haven't been able to get pregnant for 3 years. On the 8th, I had a thorough check-up and found ureaplasma positive. Ultrasound showed a small fibroid in the uterus and pelvic effusion. My period came on the 25th and ended on the 1st of October. On October 2nd, I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital and was prescribed herbal medicine for ovulation induction. I took the medicine for 10 days and then stopped. On November 3rd, I found out I was pregnant, but I didn't have an ultrasound. On November 7th, I had an ultrasound and it was said to be an ectopic pregnancy. Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What caused it? I'm afraid it will happen again next time.Doctor's answer:
Your condition is due to gynecological inflammation stimulating tubal adhesion, which then led to the recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. It is unrelated to taking medication.Recommendation:
After a thorough examination, you have pelvic effusion, which is a sign of pelvic inflammatory disease. This can cause tubal adhesion to recur, potentially leading to ectopic pregnancy. However, this is unrelated to the doxycycline you are taking, as this medication is used to treat mycoplasma. Therefore, there is no need to worry. Currently, it is important to actively and completely eliminate the inflammation to prevent the recurrence of ectopic pregnancy in the future.
