Can Ectopic Pregnancy Occur After Uterus Removal?
Question: can an ectopic pregnancy happen even after the uterus is removed
Brief Answer:
YES, BUT VERY VERY RARE.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
To answer your question - Yes, it is possible.
That is a scientific answer, practically speaking, it is a very far fetched possibility.
This is because only around 50 cases have been reported so far in the world, it is that rare.
Technically it is possible because ectopic pregnancy occurs outside the uterus, and if you have functioning ovaries, the hypothetical situation can arise.
