Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went for a thorough check-up to confirm pregnancy and found out that I had an ectopic pregnancy. So, does ectopic pregnancy affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy is a type of ectopic gestation, which can cause significant harm to women's physical health and also affect normal conception. Women who have experienced ectopic pregnancy have a higher risk of it recurring if they become pregnant again. Therefore, women who have had ectopic pregnancy need to undergo comprehensive pre-pregnancy health check-ups if they wish to conceive again. It is essential to rule out all environmental factors that may affect pregnancy, especially to check whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed.
