Can I still get pregnant after having my fallopian tube removed?

Many women experience ectopic pregnancy. In this case, bilateral salpingectomy is required to remove the fallopian tube on one side. After the fallopian tube is removed, patients will inevitably worry whether the fallopian tube removal surgery will affect their own reproductive function. So, is it still possible to get pregnant after removing one fallopian tube?

1. Can I still get pregnant after removing one fallopian tube?

Theoretically, if one side of a woman's fallopian tubes is removed and only one side of the fallopian tubes remains, the chance of pregnancy is lower than that of a woman with normal fallopian tubes on both sides. This is because the ovulation period of a woman's ovaries takes turns on both sides, and only when the ovulation period of the intact side occurs can a woman become pregnant successfully. In this case, women are required to cherish the opportunity to become pregnant.

2. How can women with bilateral fallopian tubes on one side get pregnant faster?

1. Clarify the patency of both fallopian tubes

Women who want to get pregnant must make sure that except for the bilateral fallopian tubes on the other side, other fertility functions are normal. Many women who have had ectopic pregnancy in the past will have bilateral fallopian tube insufficiency. In this case, if the bilateral fallopian tube on the remaining side is insufficiency, it may cause infertility in severe cases. If it is not completely blocked, it may cause ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, women who want to become pregnant should undergo a bilateral fallopian tube examination before becoming pregnant to help clarify the detailed condition of the bilateral fallopian tubes.

2. Clarify the status of uterine and ovarian ovulation

The ovulation period of the uterus and ovaries takes place alternately on both sides. Therefore, the probability of pregnancy for women who can only have bilateral fallopian tubes on one side will be reduced. We must cherish the opportunity of pregnancy with bilateral fallopian tubes on one side. This requires understanding the ovulation period, which side of the uterus and ovary ovulates, and whether the egg can grow and be discharged. We must know in time. Make sure that the ovulation function is normal, and pay attention to the choice of pregnancy time. You can choose the time of intercourse according to the size of the egg under the guidance of a doctor to increase the probability of pregnancy. For women with anovulation, further examination should be done to determine the cause of the disease and actively treat it.
