What should I do after an ectopic pregnancy?

Nausea and vomiting? Body changes, breast swelling? Pregnant? I believe that many women may become pregnant under these circumstances. Some women who want children think they have received an unexpected surprise. However, what they don’t know is that it is an ectopic pregnancy, not a normal pregnancy, which can pose a great threat to women’s health. But it is okay if it is discovered early and treated early.

There are many options for the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, which depends on the desire for fertility, the size and location of the ectopic pregnancy and the patient's physical condition. For those who are unable to have children, the fertility can be preserved to the greatest extent possible while saving the patient's life.

Medical treatment of ectopic pregnancy:

It is administered by intramuscular injection when the embryo is still relatively small and human chorionic gonadotropin is not high, inhibiting the growth of cells and placenta and terminating ectopic pregnancy. You should avoid drinking alcohol and having sex while taking this medicine. This method has certain disadvantages: First, in case the drug does not kill the embryo. The second is that part of the embryo is killed while the other part survives. Therefore, if any symptoms of ectopic pregnancy rupture occur during medication treatment, you should call emergency services at any time.

Surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy:

If the pain or intra-abdominal bleeding is severe, or you are breastfeeding, or your health condition does not allow you to use it, you will need surgery to treat ectopic pregnancy. The embryo can be removed through laparoscopic surgery. With this surgery, a small incision is made near your belly button, and the patient is placed into your abdominal cavity to observe your fallopian tubes. Usually, the embryo or remaining tissue can be removed, preserving your fallopian tubes. If bleeding is excessive, the fallopian tube may also be removed at the same time. In some cases, your doctor may need to perform laparotomy.

Are you still so afraid of ectopic pregnancy now? I believe that after my introduction, everyone should have a clear understanding. I should not be afraid anymore. Ectopic pregnancy is an accident. There are two things we can do. First, take safety measures. Second, get checked early. Develop a good habit of having regular physical examinations.
