Patient's question:
In December 2010, I had an ectopic pregnancy and underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove the right fallopian tube and had an IUD removed. What kind of help is needed: I already have a child who is 11 years old and do not want to get pregnant. In my situation, how should I comprehensively prevent ectopic pregnancy again? Is it necessary to have an IUD placed?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of ectopic pregnancy is tubal inflammation. Preventing ectopic pregnancy is relatively difficult, but the following situations are prone to recurrent ectopic pregnancy, and should be highly vigilant.(1) Women with a history of adnexal inflammation or pelvic inflammation;
(2) Women with a history of tubal surgery;
(3) Infertility;
(4) Women with a history of "ectopic pregnancy";
(5) Women using an intrauterine device.
Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of nursing.
