Patient's question:
I had abdominal pain when I was one month pregnant and underwent a thorough examination to find out it was an ectopic pregnancy. I didn't want to have an abortion. How can I get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy where, even if you don't want to have an abortion, you still have to have one. When an ectopic pregnancy hasn't ruptured, conservative treatment can be considered. Closely monitor your symptoms and retest hCG levels. If it ruptures, emergency surgery is required.After an ectopic pregnancy surgery, you need to wait for at least one year before trying to conceive. Before conception, a comprehensive and thorough examination should be performed, mainly including a hysterosalpingogram.
