Patient's question:
How long after ectopic pregnancy surgery can one get pregnant? Are there any ways to lower the chances of pregnancy, and how can it be done?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing an ectopic pregnancy surgery, since the surgical scope primarily involves the fallopian tubes rather than the uterus, pregnancy can be considered after an interval of one year. Since ectopic pregnancies most commonly recur in the fallopian tubes, even if the fallopian tube on that side is preserved after surgery, the chances of pregnancy in the next step remain relatively low. Therefore, it is recommended to attempt pregnancy through intercourse with the other ovary. Monitoring follicular development can begin on the 11th day of the menstrual cycle, and under the guidance of a doctor, the timing of intercourse can be adjusted to reduce the chances of pregnancy.
