Patient's question:
I feel a bit uncomfortable, so I need to check carefully. The doctor said I have an ectopic pregnancy and need surgery. What if one fallopian tube is removed due to ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy, also known as tubal pregnancy, refers to an abnormal pregnancy where the early pregnancy egg implants and grows outside the uterine cavity, with tubal pregnancy being the most common type. Women have two ovaries and two fallopian tubes. If one fallopian tube is removed, as long as the other ovary and fallopian tube function normally, early pregnancy is still possible, although the likelihood of early pregnancy is generally reduced. It is recommended to undergo laparoscopic surgery to remove the unilateral fallopian tube at a regular public hospital. After the surgery, attention should be paid to preventing pregnancy before undergoing fallopian tube.
