2. What to do if you have an ectopic pregnancy

1. Traditional conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy with drugs

Conservative drug treatment is a treatment method for early ectopic pregnancy, and it should also be divided into suitable populations. Conservative drug treatment is suitable for people whose fallopian tube has not ruptured, whose tubal pregnancy mass is less than 3cm in diameter, who have no obvious internal bleeding, and whose blood HCG is less than 2000U/L. This treatment method causes less harm to patients, but the killed embryos are polarized in situ, which can easily cause blockage of the fallopian tubes and affect fertility. Therefore, female patients should use it with caution, especially those who want to have children should not try this method lightly.

2. Treatment of ectopic pregnancy by fallopian tube fenestration and suture

When the fallopian tube is not ruptured or the rupture is small, hysteroscopy can be used. First, the fallopian tube is cut open to remove the embryo, and then it is sutured to maintain the function of the fallopian tube. Hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery can reduce the risks of surgery. It is painless, does not bleed, heals quickly, and leaves no scars. It greatly reduces the recurrence rate of the disease and is the best treatment for ectopic pregnancy currently advocated. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is a minimally invasive surgery for ectopic pregnancy that preserves fertility to the greatest extent possible, allowing patients to rekindle their hope of having a child.

3. Salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy

Salpingectomy is generally performed for ectopic pregnancy with severe fallopian tube rupture that is difficult to repair and accompanied by symptoms of hemorrhagic shock. The only option is to remove the fallopian tube on the affected side.

The above is about the treatment methods for female ectopic pregnancy. Surgery is a more common solution and is also recognized as a better method. Drug treatment is conservative, but it has side effects, especially for those who want to have children. Some people even need to have their fallopian tubes removed, which reduces the probability of pregnancy.
