Sequelae of chemotherapy injections for ectopic pregnancy

If a woman suffers from an ectopic pregnancy, the sooner the treatment is done, the better. When the ectopic pregnancy develops to a certain stage, it can cause miscarriage of the fallopian tube or rupture of the fallopian tube, resulting in capillary rupture. The muscles of the fallopian tubes on both sides are weak and cannot contract like the uterus to compress the blood sinuses. If there is excessive bleeding, it can cause shock and even threaten life. Let’s take a look at the complications of radiotherapy for ectopic pregnancy.

Complications of radiotherapy for ectopic pregnancy:

Injection of chemotherapy drugs for ectopic pregnancy is generally not prone to complications. As the drug is metabolized and excreted from the body, the side effects will gradually subside. The more common drugs in clinical medicine include mifepristone, methotrexate, etc. Patients may experience a series of digestive system side effects, but the levels are usually mild. If the patient is more sensitive to the drug, the success rate of treatment can reach more than 90%. Only some patients are not sensitive to the drug, which may cause the problem of drug ineffectiveness. Therefore, after discovering an ectopic pregnancy, it is necessary to determine whether conservative treatment is possible based on the location of the ectopic pregnancy, the size of the mass, and the growth rate. If traditional treatment is available, hospitalization and injection of chemical drugs are required.

How to treat ectopic pregnancy:

Take tubal pregnancy as an example:

1. Conservative treatment with drugs

If the ectopic pregnancy can be diagnosed in the early stage, that is, before the fallopian tubes on both sides rupture, and there is no desire to conceive, drug treatment is the best choice, which causes less harm to the patient and the body is easy to recover. However, it cannot be used for those who want to get pregnant, because the killed test tube embryos are polarized at the origin, which often leads to blockage of the fallopian tube.

2. Bilateral fallopian tube fenestration and ventilation surgery suture

For ectopic pregnancy with bilateral fallopian tubes not ruptured or with small bilateral fallopian tube ruptures, laparoscopy is used to cut the bilateral fallopian tubes to place the test tube embryos, followed by surgical suture to maintain the function of the bilateral fallopian tubes. This is the best treatment method for ectopic pregnancy currently advocated;

3. Bilateral fallopian tube removal

For patients with severe bilateral fallopian tube rupture that is difficult to repair and accompanied by hemorrhagic shock, only laparoscopic surgery or open surgery to remove the bilateral fallopian tubes of the affected limbs can be performed, and intravenous injection may be required.
