How to treat early ectopic pregnancy? The authoritative answer is this

If a woman detects an ectopic pregnancy at a very early stage, then the treatment will be much easier. She can choose medication or conservative surgery, which is to remove the fallopian tube on the affected side. Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy can also be performed.

1. What to do in case of early ectopic pregnancy

Regarding early ectopic pregnancy, experts point out that the treatment principle of ectopic pregnancy is mainly surgical treatment, among which there are two types of surgical treatment methods: one is to remove the affected fallopian tube; the other is to retain the affected fallopian tube, which is conservative surgery.

Conservative surgery is suitable for young women who want to have children, especially those whose contralateral fallopian tube has been removed or has obvious lesions. In recent years, due to the improvement of diagnostic technology, the number of tubal pregnancies diagnosed before miscarriage or rupture has increased, so the use of conservative surgery has increased significantly compared with the past. The surgical procedure is selected based on the site of implantation of the fertilized egg and the condition of the fallopian tube lesions. If it is an infundibulum pregnancy, the products of conception can be squeezed out; if it is an ampulla pregnancy, the fallopian tube is opened to remove the embryo and then sutured; if it is an isthmus pregnancy, the diseased segment is resected and end-to-end anastomosis is performed. If the surgery uses microsurgical techniques, the subsequent pregnancy rate can be improved. In addition to laparotomy, conservative surgery can also be performed via laparoscopy.

If ectopic pregnancy is not treated actively, it may even threaten women's health. So what should we do in the early stage of ectopic pregnancy? At present, minimally invasive gynecological technology is the most effective method for treating ectopic pregnancy. Choosing minimally invasive technology to treat ectopic pregnancy can also ensure good treatment results and avoid incomplete treatment.

2. Drug treatment

If an ectopic pregnancy is discovered early and the fallopian tube has not ruptured at this stage, if you plan not to have a child, drug treatment will cause minimal harm to your body and is easy to recover. Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used as a systemic medication, which can cause necrosis and shedding of embryonic tissue, but the success rate is relatively low.

3. Conservative surgery

There are two types of surgery for ectopic pregnancy. One is to preserve the affected fallopian tube, which is called conservative surgery; the other is to remove the affected fallopian tube. This type of surgery is more suitable for young women who want to have children.

4. Hysteroscopic and laparoscopic treatment

Kung Fu laparoscopy is performed by making two or three holes in the abdomen for treatment according to the patient's condition. No surgery is performed or fallopian tubes are removed unless necessary. Because the method is more advanced, the impact on the pelvic and abdominal cavities can be minimized.
