Will ectopic pregnancy cause infertility?

Nowadays, many women suffer from ectopic pregnancy, and ectopic pregnancy is likely to lead to infertility, so many women are very worried. But in fact, there is no certain connection between ectopic pregnancy and infertility. However, many people do not understand this knowledge, so it will cause a certain panic. In daily life, we must first understand it and then take corresponding countermeasures. Today, let’s talk about whether ectopic pregnancy will cause infertility.

Normally, the egg and sperm meet in the fallopian tube to form a fertilized egg. Then, with the help of the cilia vibration and muscle peristalsis of the fallopian tube, the fertilized egg is gradually pushed into the uterine cavity, where it settles down and slowly grows into a fetus.

If there is a disease in the fallopian tube and it is blocked, the fertilized egg will be blocked and its timely arrival in the uterine cavity will be interfered with. In this way, it may settle in the fallopian tube.

Because the lumen of the fallopian tube is narrow and cannot accommodate the development and growth of the fertilized egg, when the fertilized egg develops to a certain extent, the fallopian tube may swell and rupture, or the fetal bud may be squeezed into the abdominal cavity, causing miscarriage and acute bleeding in the abdominal cavity. If the bleeding is excessive, it may be life-threatening and require emergency surgery.

Nowadays, we can detect ectopic pregnancy early through a series of examinations. For example: urine enzyme immunoassay, B-ultrasound exploration, and comprehensive analysis based on medical history, clinical manifestations and other auxiliary examination methods. Most ectopic pregnancies can be properly diagnosed and treated before the fallopian tube ruptures.

In fact, the best treatment method for ectopic pregnancy is laparoscopy. This is a new type of minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment technology. Under the guidance of laparoscopy, tubal pregnancy surgery can preserve the structure and function of the fallopian tube intact, thus preserving the patient's fertility.

Therefore, there is no necessary connection between ectopic pregnancy and infertility. If infertility is caused by ectopic pregnancy, it may also be due to poor conditioning in daily life. Therefore, pregnant women should undergo timely examinations after having an ectopic pregnancy and adjust their mentality. In this way, they may still have a healthy baby.
