Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to deepen and familiarise its readers with all topics of obstetrics and gynaecology. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms allows us to better study the disease and provide early diagnosis. It is fundamental to choose the correct test as a diagnostic tool and then, thanks to cooperation with other specialty departments, establish the best therapeutic plan. The individualization of each case helps us to choose the best treatment regimen for the patient.

We invite you to contribute to our Special Issue either with an original article or with a review paper.

Dr. Nikolaos Machairiotis
Guest Editor

The potentially fatal condition known as ectopic pregnancy (EP) occurs when an embryo implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. It accounts for approximately 1–2% of all pregnancies and remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity in the first trimester. EP is an important area of focus in reproductive health that extends beyond its immediate clinical care. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of EP on the physical, reproductive, and psychological aspects of eventual fertility and parental outcomes. The findings from qualitative interviews, case–control studies, and cohort studies that have been published in peer-reviewed journals over the past 20 years were compiled into a narrative literature review. Included were studies looking at patient experiences after EP, psychosocial impacts, and reproductive results. According to research, women who have had EP in the past may have a slightly lower chance of becoming pregnant in the future, particularly following a salpingectomy. Assisted reproductive technology may potentially mitigate some of these risks. The parenting journey is often complicated by psychological consequences. Access to fertility services and counseling was found to have a significant impact on post-EP reproductive outcomes. The need for thorough follow-up care that addresses both physical and mental wellness is highlighted by the fact that EP can have long-lasting impacts on fertility and the parenting path. To optimize patient well-being and reproductive results, post-EP treatment must include early fertility counseling and psychological support. Full article
