Ectopic pregnancy conservative treatment or surgery, which is better?

When a woman is pregnant, she may have an ectopic pregnancy due to some reasons. It is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately at this time, otherwise it is easy for the pregnant woman to be in danger, not only causing internal bleeding, but also seriously endangering the woman’s personal safety. So, is conservative treatment or minimally invasive surgery better for ectopic pregnancy?

When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, whether conservative treatment or minimally invasive surgery is performed depends on the condition of the pregnant woman, such as whether the pregnant woman has fertility requirements, whether bilateral fallopian tube rupture has occurred, whether there is bleeding, etc., all of which affect the choice of treatment plan.

If an ectopic pregnancy can be detected in the early stages, and there is no rupture of the fallopian tubes on both sides, and the woman has no fertility requirements, conservative treatment is the best option. This does not cause much harm to the patient, and the body recovers quickly after treatment. If a woman has a desire to get pregnant, conservative treatment is not recommended, because this type of treatment will cause the dead test tube embryo to block both fallopian tubes.

If the patient with ectopic pregnancy has a requirement to conceive, minimally invasive surgery should be used to remove the test tube embryo, which will not affect the function of both fallopian tubes. If the patient has internal bleeding, shock and other conditions, surgery is also required, and doctors will mostly choose minimally invasive surgery. In cases of emergency or critical conditions, surgical treatment should be performed. The doctor will decide whether to remove the fallopian tube based on the condition.

How long does it take to treat an ectopic pregnancy?

Under normal circumstances, the condition is likely to recover within 2 to 4 weeks of traditional medication. Pay attention to local hygiene recommendations, actively check the status of blood hCG, and be careful to eat less cold and irritating foods.

How to prevent ectopic pregnancy

The most important point to prevent ectopic pregnancy is to treat urinary system diseases in time: inflammation is the culprit that causes fallopian tube stenosis, and intrauterine operations such as abortion also increase the probability of inflammation and uterine wall entering the fallopian tubes on both sides, causing fallopian tube adhesions and stenosis, increasing the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Uterine fibroids, endometriosis and other urinary system diseases may also change the shape and function of the fallopian tubes. Timely treatment of these symptoms can reduce the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy generally takes more than ten days to a month to treat. Everyone must pay attention to their physical condition at ordinary times to ensure early detection and early treatment. At the same time, they must also grasp the key points of prevention to prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
