Can ectopic pregnancy still occur after bilateral salpingectomy?

Ectopic pregnancy is a very serious pregnancy problem, because a normal fertilized egg should gradually grow inside the woman's uterus, while ectopic pregnancy mainly refers to the fertilized egg implanting in the fallopian tube. If the ectopic pregnancy problem is not discovered in time, it will cause the woman's fallopian tube to rupture and even threaten the life of the female patient. So after both fallopian tubes are removed, can ectopic pregnancy still occur?

Can ectopic pregnancy still occur after bilateral salpingectomy? Normal embryo implantation should be in the uterine cavity. If the pregnancy occurs outside the uterine cavity, such as in the fallopian tube, cervix, etc., it is called ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy. Some people mistakenly believe that the chance of ectopic pregnancy is lower after fallopian tube removal. In fact, this is related to the structural characteristics of the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube is a bridge connecting sperm and eggs and plays a very important role. Let's introduce it in detail below.

1. After research, it was found that there were patients who had bilateral fallopian tube removal and then did in vitro fertilization. After embryo transplantation, it was found that the embryo was in the wrong place. After B-ultrasound examination, it was found that there was an ectopic pregnancy. This does not rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy after the fallopian tube was removed. When the embryo implants anywhere outside the uterine cavity, it is called an ectopic pregnancy, also known as an extrauterine pregnancy.

2. Clinically, more than 90% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tube, so it is also called tubal pregnancy. In order to avoid the recurrence of ectopic pregnancy, many patients will choose to remove the pregnant fallopian tube. If there is water accumulation or lesions in the contralateral fallopian tube, it will also be removed at the same time. This is to eliminate future troubles and prevent ectopic pregnancy from happening again.

3. It is related to abnormal development of the fallopian tube. For example, if the fallopian tube is too long after fallopian tube surgery, or if women have pelvic endometriosis or wear an intrauterine device, it will cause an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube. Because there are two ovaries and fallopian tubes, once the egg matures and is fertilized, it will run to the fallopian tube on the other side to mature, which will cause an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube. Salpingitis will cause cracks and adhesions in the fallopian tube mucosa, hindering the implantation of the fertilized egg.

Ectopic pregnancy has a great impact on women's health and may even endanger their lives. Therefore, female friends should learn more about sexual behavior, avoid poor health awareness, lack of hygiene knowledge, not knowing how to protect themselves, not knowing how to prevent pregnancy, and not having unclean sex. Once the uterus and fallopian tubes become inflamed, it will cause very serious consequences and requires going to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
