What is the reason for difficulty in getting pregnant after ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

After her divorce, my sister got pregnant soon. But she had to have surgery due to an ectopic pregnancy very quickly. In the past two years, she has been trying to have another child, but it hasn't happened yet. Hello, why is it difficult to get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy makes it difficult to conceive mainly due to the issue of fallopian tube blockage. Only if the fertilized egg can be correctly transported into the uterus can pregnancy occur. Once the fallopian tube has problems again, it is not possible to deliver. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital before planning to conceive, followed by symptomatic treatment.
There are many treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the chosen treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are detected.
