Patient's question:
I had been pregnant once six months ago, but when I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out it was an ectopic pregnancy. Later, there was no choice but to have it terminated. My body has fully recovered now, and I am preparing to get pregnant again. However, I am really afraid of it being an ectopic pregnancy again. How can I avoid an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Women with a history of ectopic pregnancy have a higher rate of recurrence compared to the general population. Therefore, it is important to treat the primary focus before conceiving again. Since ectopic pregnancy is primarily caused by tubal inflammation, preventing ectopic pregnancy mainly involves actively treating pelvic inflammation, tubal inflammation, and vaginal inflammation. During the menstrual period, adopting the "Seven-Phase" therapy to control inflammation, promoting blood circulation and resolving stagnation, along with using herbal poultices for cold compresses and microwave therapy, can all aid in the treatment and complete recovery of the disease. Additionally, increasing uterine activity, paying attention to menstrual hygiene, and preventing infections are also important.
