Patient's question:
My wife had previously had an IUD (intrauterine device) inserted, but she still got pregnant. I'm very worried it might be an ectopic pregnancy. What are the chances of getting pregnant with an ectopic pregnancy while using an IUD?Doctor's answer:
With a ring, it is usually seen in cases where the intrauterine device (IUD) has moved downward or fallen out. In this situation, there is a possibility of a potential ectopic pregnancy, but the chances are generally small. For your wife's condition, she can visit a local hospital around the 40th day of pregnancy and undergo a B examination. If a gestational sac is visible in the uterine cavity, ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. Under the guidance of a local doctor, an abortion procedure can be performed to terminate the early pregnancy.
