Patient's question:
Now pregnant, had an ectopic pregnancy surgery in mid-November 2009, had a fallopian tube removed. Can I have a child now that I'm pregnant?Doctor's answer:
At least one year after the surgery, it is necessary to have a thorough examination at the hospital to check the patency of the other side. The simplest method is to undergo a tubal iodine oil contrast examination at a large hospital. Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy should have an ultrasound examination around the 50th day of pregnancy if they become pregnant again. Based on the location of the gestational sac and fetal heartbeat, it can be determined whether the pregnancy is intrauterine or ectopic, allowing for early detection and elimination of potential risks. Additionally, if irregular vaginal bleeding occurs during the early stages of pregnancy, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Efforts should be made to make a diagnosis before severe abdominal pain occurs again, i.e., before the fallopian tube ruptures.
