Appendicitis And Pregnancy
Hey roderick_rivera, how are you doing?


An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that develops outside the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes, but rare cases in the ovary or in the cervix have been known. If you've had any abdominal surgery, including an appendix removal or a caesarian section, you are at risk.


If you have had abdominal surgery, it's best to wait for six months to allow scarring to heal', says dr watson. We normally advise women who've had a laparoscopy to wait three to four months before trying to conceive again.

To view a case study of an ectopic pregnancy, please visit the babycenter, l.L.C.

best wishes,
