Patient's question:
I just had a unilateral salpingectomy. Will I get pregnant if I have sex this month? That's right, I just recently fully recovered and was discharged from the hospital, but accidentally had sex with my husband. This morning, I remembered that I had a previous ectopic pregnancy and felt so upset about the possibility of getting it again. What should I do to solve this?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, if you have sexual intercourse with your husband during the days when you are in your ovulation period, there is a possibility of pregnancy. If one of your fallopian tubes has been removed, and the other side's fallopian tube is normal and unobstructed, there is still a possibility of pregnancy. If it hasn't been less than 72 hours yet, it is better to take emergency contraception orally in a timely manner. You can also go to the hospital for a detailed ultrasound examination. If it is ruled out that there is a possibility of menopause during these days, then there is no need to take it.
