Has a history of ectopic pregnancy, will there still be ectopic pregnancy after wearing a ring?

Patient's question:

Has anyone with a history of ectopic pregnancy had another one after getting an IUD????My first pregnancy was ectopic, and now that I have a baby, will getting an IUD give me peace of mind?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the use of an intrauterine device (IUD) can serve as a form of contraception, but it does not prevent ectopic pregnancy. However, if an IUD is not used for contraception, it cannot guarantee that ectopic pregnancy will never occur again in the future. Therefore, regarding future events, there is no way to predict them accurately, so it is better to live peacefully each day. Some things cannot be resolved or prevented simply by worrying about them. For events that have not yet occurred, it is best not to worry too much. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy severely affects a woman's health, and patients must pay attention to their daily lives during treatment, avoiding sexual activity. Additionally, personal hygiene must be maintained.
