A friend of mine had an ectopic last year and it was really scary for her, now im planning to conceive soon and that fear is stuck in my head. I want to know if theres anything one can do to lower the chance. Pls share if u know.
Honestly there's no sure way to prevent it, but early scans help catch it in time, which is what saved me. The moment you confirm pregnancy, book that early checkup. Please don't ignore one sided pain or bleeding.
The best thing is to see your gynac early once you get a positive test. Sharp one sided pain, dizziness or shoulder tip pain needs immediate attention. Never wait it out na.
My doctor said it's not really preventable but managing risk factors like infections helps. The key is early detection through a scan and hcg checks. So getting checked promptly is the real protection she told me.
