Patient's question:
Hello, I had an ectopic pregnancy two years ago and underwent conservative treatment. It is said that the chance of having another ectopic pregnancy may be reduced after experiencing one. So I am very sad to have another ectopic pregnancy. My period hasn't come since last month until now. Could it be another ectopic pregnancy? I am very worried. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you once had an ectopic pregnancy. After conservative treatment, there is scar tissue in the affected area. If you get pregnant again, it is indeed possible to increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Now that your period is delayed, the first step is to take a pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant. If pregnancy is diagnosed, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound around 40 days after your last period to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
