Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My husband and I had a case of ectopic pregnancy before getting married. We had surgery afterward, and we've fully recovered well. Now we've been married for two years and want to have a child. However, our previous experience makes me a bit worried, and it's left me with some lingering fears. So, I'd like to consult about how to prevent ectopic pregnancy? What can we do to ensure a smooth and normal pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy primarily occurs in the fallopian tube. It is usually caused by fallopian tube blockage, which prevents the fertilized egg from reaching the uterine cavity in time, leading to implantation and growth in the fallopian tube. If you have a history of ectopic pregnancy, you should undergo a medical check-up before getting pregnant again, including a fallopian tube (hysterosalpingography) to determine if the tubes are patent. As long as the fallopian tubes are patent, ectopic pregnancy is unlikely to occur again.
