Patient's question:
In mid-April, ectopic pregnancy with rigorous treatment. Yesterday, intrauterine insemination. For safety, I took emergency contraception. Now I'm very upset about another ectopic pregnancy. But I'm afraid of getting pregnant if I don't take the medication. Can I get pregnant after conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy and taking emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
Women who have had an ectopic pregnancy have a higher chance of experiencing another one, which is related to the degree of tubal patency. If the fertilized egg cannot reach the uterine cavity for implantation, it may implant outside the uterus. You don't need to worry too much. If you are not planning to have a child, it is best to use more reliable contraception methods, such as oral short-term birth control pills or wearing condoms. In addition to treating ectopic pregnancy, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
