Can I get pregnant after ectopic pregnancy surgery?

Patient's question:

My sister had surgery before because of an ectopic pregnancy. Can she get pregnant again after the ectopic pregnancy surgery?

Doctor's answer:

It is possible to get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy surgery, because women have one ovary on each side, and each ovary has the function of menopause. After an ectopic pregnancy, it is usually the same-side fallopian tube that is prone to blockage again, but it will never affect the other side, so there is still the opportunity for natural childbirth. If you haven't conceived after trying to get pregnant for a year after an ectopic pregnancy, it is best to go to the hospital for tests such as fallopian tube to understand if the other side is also blocked.
