Patient's question:
I have a question. Can a woman get an ectopic pregnancy without having sex? I would appreciate a detailed explanation, as I'm not very clear on this.Doctor's answer:
Without sexual activity, there will be no ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy occurs when sperm and egg combine outside the uterine cavity, usually in the position of the fallopian tube, not inside the uterine cavity, hence the term ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy must be surgically treated within 45 days. If treatment is delayed, it can lead to abdominal pain and severe bleeding. If you do not want to have a child, it is recommended that you take contraceptive measures, such as oral contraceptives or using condoms and intrauterine devices. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment.
