A member asked:

Diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy at 5 weeks bleeding stopped and body is stable, doctors said no treatment needed, can ectopic pregnancy cause infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe : I'm confused. Bleeding from ectopic usually requires surgery. If for some reason, no surgery was done, it's possible to have infection but u need to check with ur doctor. Further blood work and scans will be needed if there are signs/symptoms of infection.
