I just had an ectopic pregnancy resulting in the removal of my right Fallopian tube. My Dr told me that statistically a repaired tube will greatly increase your chances of another ectopic because of scar tissue. My Dr also assured me that when he did the laproscopy he would only take my tube if the left one was clear. I have now also done some research into adhesions and scar tissue as I have had experience with a hands on technique called myofascial release. There is a PT in Florida doing this work called ' clear passage' with outstanding results. Good luck everyone .
I also have had 2 ectopic pregnancies. "ne of them nov 18 08 and january 22 09. Less than 2 mont apart and the second surgery they removed my left tube. They were both on the same side. It seams they set me up for the second one. It doesn't take much to figure the scar tishue from number 1 would result in the same thing. But luckily after the 2nd one 8 months later and 1 month of trying I conceived my daughter I'm 20 years old and am lucky I lived through both these surgeries. My daugter is now 5 mo old and perfect in every way! DON't GIVE UP.
i had same situation, first ectopic ruptured in sept 2006 on left side. the tube was repaired. got preg again in 07 and after 3 months it disappeared. ended up having DNC (strange situation) dec. 07 pregnant again, ectopic on left side, ruptured jan. 08, tube completely removed. pregnant again march 09 with only one tube...great baby boy 12-22-09.
yes!!!! am 27yrs...i had the 1st ectopic preg on my left tube last yr may,had internal bleeding since it was ruptured,went for surgery n removed part of it,i got pregnant after 3months of trying bt unfortuntly it was another ectopic preg on the same tube,i had another surgery n it was completly removed....its 3months now,n will be goin thro the dye test on 22 of ths month to see if my right tube is ok....after my last surgery thy told me its healthy n nothing ovious bt my Oby/Gyn wants me checked......i bealive in God n i have faith that 1day its gonna be ok.Hope ths helps.
Anyone else with some helpful knowledge? Thank you in advance.
But it did. It happened in part of the tube that previously had an ectopic. This time she hemmorhaged and had a second surgery. She now has 2 large c-section scars to remind her of the losses. Thank you for your input, though. I knew that I could count on you girls. tmv
The other tube should work just fine. Yes, you are at a higher risk to have an ectopic since you already had one..so keep that in mind.
There's no reason to remove entire tube just area affected, perhaps a great doctor can reconnect and make the tube good again."" Of course I don't know how much is left.
Since part of the tube is gone, there's no chance of ectopic reocurring in same tube.
