Patient's question:
I have been living a very happy life with my husband. Suddenly, one day while I was hanging clothes, I felt severe abdominal pain and collapsed. I was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, where my left fallopian tube was removed. It has been two years now, and I haven’t been able to get pregnant. I would like to ask if it’s still possible to get pregnant after having the left fallopian tube removed?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, we all have two fallopian tubes. If one fallopian tube is removed, leaving the other, the chances of pregnancy will be reduced by half. In your case, there is a possibility of a recurrent ectopic pregnancy. Since one fallopian tube has already been removed, and you haven't been pregnant for the past two years, you have secondary infertility. First, it is necessary to carefully check whether the right fallopian tube is unobstructed, while also monitoring the condition of the follicles to try and determine the timing of intercourse for a higher chance of pregnancy when the right ovary is ovulating.
