Does artificial insemination cause ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I just had an artificial insemination procedure, and the surgery was quite successful. However, I don't know if artificial insemination can lead to an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Artificial insemination surgery does not completely rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Artificial insemination usually involves injecting sperm into the vagina. As for whether it will be an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy next, it is still uncertain. If the condition of the thorough examination is normal, without fallopian tubes, and no gynecological diseases, then the possibility of a recurrent ectopic pregnancy is not very high. It is necessary to have blood tests two weeks after artificial insemination to make a prediction.
