Is the risk of ectopic pregnancy higher after one tube removal?
1 week ago
My wife had an ectopic pregnancy previously and one tube was removed. We are thinking about trying again, but she is very anxious. Is the risk of another ectopic significantly higher?

After a previous ectopic pregnancy and removal of one fallopian tube, the risk of another ectopic pregnancy is somewhat elevated, though many women go on to have successful pregnancies with the remaining tube. The overall risk depends on the health of the remaining tube and other individual factors. It is strongly recommended to consult a gynecologist or fertility specialist before trying to conceive, so they can assess your wife’s specific situation, monitor early pregnancy closely, and provide appropriate guidance and reassurance.
