Is there a high chance of recurrence after removal of one fallopian tube for ectopic pregnancy?

Currently, the best way to treat ectopic pregnancy is to remove one side of the fallopian tube. However, many women are worried that ectopic pregnancy will recur after removing one side of the fallopian tube. Is this true? We also consulted gynecological experts to hear what they say about this! The following article is the expert's full answer to this question. I hope that everyone can understand this issue through my introduction.

As we all know, women have two fallopian tubes, one on each side of the uterus, which play the role of picking up eggs and transporting fertilized eggs. However, many people often have one of their fallopian tubes removed due to inflammation, adhesions, tumors, or even ectopic pregnancy. Can a woman still get pregnant if she only has one fallopian tube left? Is the chance of pregnancy high? Will it be an ectopic pregnancy? Consult an expert online.

■Is it necessary to remove the fallopian tube if the above situation occurs?

Since the fallopian tube is an important place for the combination of sperm and egg, the above ectopic pregnancies often occur in the ampulla of the fallopian tube. Outside the uterine cavity, the continuously growing embryo may cause the patient to suffer from massive bleeding or even hemorrhagic shock and death if timely measures are not taken.

Therefore, some people, after suffering an ectopic pregnancy, have no choice but to have one of their fallopian tubes removed, which reduces their chances of getting pregnant again.

■If one fallopian tube is removed, is the chance of an ectopic pregnancy on the other side higher?

Generally, if an ectopic pregnancy occurs in the fallopian tube, it is often caused by obstruction of the fallopian tube, and inflammation is usually the main cause. However, removing one fallopian tube cannot fundamentally prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy, it is only a means of prevention and treatment.

Experts remind that in order to truly prevent ectopic pregnancy, female friends should pay attention to the reproductive system to prevent inflammation from infecting it, reduce the possibility of intrauterine surgery, and avoid inflammation that endangers the fallopian tubes and various organs in the pelvic cavity, thereby preventing the occurrence of fallopian tube adhesions and blockages. In addition, patients also need to do timely pregnancy checkups. Only when several important conditions for conception are met can they successfully become pregnant and give birth to a baby.

It can be seen that women do not necessarily have to have their fallopian tubes removed after having an ectopic pregnancy unless it is absolutely necessary. The chance of getting pregnant again after it is removed is reduced, and there is still a chance of recurrence of ectopic pregnancy after removing one side of the fallopian tube, and it does not prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. I hope that women who have been diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy will be cautious when having their fallopian tubes removed.
