Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have had an ectopic pregnancy surgery. I am now considering having a second child. Can I get pregnant? I am from the countryside, and the family planning regulations in my area are not very strict. After giving birth to my first child, I did not take any contraceptive measures. A year later, I suddenly discovered that I was pregnant again. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was confirmed to be an ectopic pregnancy, and I had surgery. It has been more than a year now. Can I have a second child?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have had an ectopic pregnancy surgery for more than a year. Under normal circumstances, it is considered that you can have a second child, and you don't need to worry too much about it. Women have two fallopian tubes, and ectopic pregnancy can occur in either side. If you have had surgery for ectopic pregnancy and only one fallopian tube was removed, as long as the remaining fallopian tube is unobstructed, you can still have a second child. It is recommended that you have a B and other relevant examinations at the hospital before pregnancy.
