Can ectopic pregnancy occur naturally?

Patient's question:

My sister has been pregnant for over a month, and she hasn't had a color ultrasound. Last night, she started experiencing abdominal pain. When she went to the hospital, they found it was an ectopic pregnancy. I want to ask, can ectopic pregnancy occur spontaneously?

Doctor's answer:

During the process of pregnancy, it is also a relatively common phenomenon for women to experience an ectopic pregnancy again. A recurring ectopic pregnancy may also lead to the reoccurrence of natural miscarriage. The issue is that natural miscarriage of ectopic pregnancy is often incomplete, and it is highly prone to cause severe bleeding, endangering life. Therefore, it is considered a serious condition. Once ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, artificial intervention must be employed as early as possible to terminate the early pregnancy through induced abortion.
