Patient's question:
I was just diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. I don't quite understand what it means. I want to have a child, and I want to ask if ectopic pregnancy can be converted to an intrauterine pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy means that the fertilized egg does not implant in the uterus but instead implants outside the uterus. For example, it may implant in the fallopian tube or other places. This condition is very dangerous, and ectopic pregnancy cannot be converted into an intrauterine pregnancy. The fetus in an ectopic pregnancy cannot be supplied with nutrients and cannot survive. Timely surgical treatment is required, involving the incision of the affected fallopian tube to remove the pregnancy. This surgical method is known as fallopian tube fenestration.
