Patient's question:
I was pregnant with my first child when I had a thorough check-up and found out it was an ectopic pregnancy. Later, I had surgery, and now I've started trying to get pregnant again. How can I prevent ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of ectopic pregnancy is due to tubal inflammation, pelvic inflammatory disease, or even tubal malformations or tuberculosis of the fallopian tubes. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination such as ultrasound, leukorrhea routine test, and six sexual hormones before the next pregnancy. If there is significant inflammation, it is necessary to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment. Generally, it is relatively safe to wait at least one year after ectopic pregnancy surgery before giving birth. After conception, regular prenatal check-ups are required to monitor the growth and development of the embryo.
