Laparoscopic management of a primary ectopic ovarian pregnancy and vaginal douching as a possible cause.
METHODS
Ovarian pregnancy is a rarely seen form of ectopic pregnancies. We present a 34-year-old women who had a diagnosis of ovarian ectopic pregnancy based on clinical and laboratory findings. Laparoscopic surgery was performed for conservative management of the case. Risk factors are outlined and vaginal douching as a possible cause for ectopic pregnancies have been discussed.


CONCLUSIONS
We suppose that frequent vaginal douching may be a risk factor for the development of ovarian ectopic pregnancies.
