Patient's question:
Two years ago, I had a history of ectopic pregnancy. I discovered it early and underwent strict medication treatment, which was eventually diagnosed as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Now I have given birth again, and before the expected menstrual period, a self-administered urine test showed positive results, with pregnancy symptoms. For now, there are no early signs of ectopic pregnancy such as bleeding or abdominal pain. Could you please tell me if this situation might affect my ability to conceive?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy stringent treatment is a treatment method designed for relatively young, fertile individuals. After undergoing stringent treatment, it generally does not affect fertility. Currently, if pregnancy occurs in the presence of a history of ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic inflammation, it is important to be cautious about the possibility of another ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to undergo regular check-ups. Around 42 days after a missed period, the gestational sac can usually be observed. The diagnosis of a normal intrauterine pregnancy allows for the exclusion of ectopic pregnancy.
