What if it is an ectopic pregnancy?

Anyone who has done their homework seriously knows that the pregnancy process is not just about the sperm and egg combining to form a fertilized egg. The fertilized egg has to implant in the uterine wall before pregnancy begins. If the fertilized egg fails to settle successfully, it may cause an ectopic pregnancy. But how do you determine an ectopic pregnancy? What if it is an ectopic pregnancy? Let us find out through the following.

1. Drug treatment of ectopic pregnancy

Conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy: mainly drug treatment. When an ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, drugs should be used to cause the gestational sac to wither and then be expelled from the body. It is mainly suitable for young patients with early ectopic pregnancy who want to preserve their fertility. It is generally believed that this method can be adopted if the following conditions are met:

① The diameter of the fallopian tube pregnancy mass is <3cm.

② The tubal pregnancy did not rupture or miscarriage.

③No obvious internal bleeding.

④Blood HCG<2000U/L.

This method of treating ectopic pregnancy seems simple and easy. It can easily relieve the trouble of ectopic pregnancy without surgery. Therefore, the conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy is more effective. However, conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy sometimes involves certain risks, because if the drugs fail to kill the embryo, the embryo will grow larger and larger, and the fallopian tube may rupture and cause heavy bleeding, and may even endanger the life of the woman with ectopic pregnancy.

2. Surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy

Conservative surgery

At present, the principle of ectopic pregnancy is mainly surgical treatment, among which there are two methods of surgical treatment: one is to remove the affected fallopian tube; the other is to retain the affected fallopian tube, which is the conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy. 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.

Laparoscopic surgery

Currently, the most advanced treatment for ectopic pregnancy is laparoscopic technology, commonly known as the "keyhole" surgery. It only requires three 1 cm puncture holes in the abdominal wall to complete the surgery that originally required a laparotomy.

What if it is an ectopic pregnancy? After reading the above, I believe you already know the answer. Both husband and wife should prepare for pregnancy in a planned manner and choose a time when both of them are in a good mood and physical condition to become pregnant. If you are not considering adding a new member to your family for the time being, you must take good contraceptive measures, which can fundamentally avoid the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy.
