Patient's question:
Three years ago, I got pregnant with my second child, but soon after, I found out it was an ectopic pregnancy and had surgery. After that, I didn't plan to have another child, especially since my health wasn't very good. However, recently I've been thinking about it, and my husband also believes it's possible. So, I wanted to ask you, can I still get pregnant in this situation?Doctor's answer:
If you have previously undergone surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to have a re-examination of your body. This is because ectopic pregnancy usually occurs in the fallopian tube, and surgery may involve the removal of the fallopian tube. In other words, you should have one fallopian tube missing in this case. Under such circumstances, you need to check how the other fallopian tube is functioning. If the other fallopian tube is open, you can still become pregnant.
