How long after Cesarean section can one get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I had an ectopic pregnancy surgery in the hospital two months ago, but I still want to have a child as soon as possible. So, I would like to know how long it takes for the incision from the ectopic pregnancy surgery to be able to get pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

After ectopic pregnancy surgery, pregnancy is not recommended within the first year. Before getting pregnant, it is necessary to undergo early physical examinations to thoroughly check the cause of the previous ectopic pregnancy and accurately determine whether there are uterine, fallopian tube, or pelvic inflammatory conditions to prevent recurrent ectopic pregnancies. Three months before pregnancy, folic acid should be taken to prevent fetal malformations. After surgery, it is important to rest more, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within the first month.
