Is surgery necessary for ectopic pregnancy?

If you experience abnormal severe abdominal pain after pregnancy, you should consider whether an ectopic pregnancy has occurred. Generally, early ectopic pregnancy will have certain similarities with normal conception. So, is surgery necessary for ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy does not necessarily require surgical treatment, but patients with ectopic pregnancy can be cured through conservative treatment. However, if the ectopic pregnancy lasts for a long time, or causes severe bleeding or shock and other symptoms, surgical treatment is still required. The specific treatment plan depends on your situation. Surgical treatment can be open surgery, and now there is also laparoscopic surgery, which is relatively less traumatic and has a quick recovery.

In fact, ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy, is a common gynecological pregnancy disease, which refers to the implantation of the fertilized egg anywhere outside the uterine cavity. We know that the newborn baby of an ectopic pregnancy not only cannot develop normally, but also puts the mother's life in danger. Therefore, ectopic pregnancy cannot be aborted and needs to be treated in a regular hospital in time.

Ectopic pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy outside the uterus. Different from ordinary pregnancy, according to the different implantation sites, there are tubal pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy, abdominal pregnancy, cervical pregnancy and rudimentary horn pregnancy. Generally, the embryo is in the uterine cavity, while the embryo of ectopic pregnancy is outside the uterine cavity, which may be the fallopian tube or outside the fallopian tube. Because the fallopian tube and ovary are not as strong and elastic as the uterus, when the embryo grows to a certain size, it will rupture the surrounding tissues, causing abdominal pain and heavy bleeding, and ectopic pregnancy rupture. The patient's life will be in danger within a short time, so ectopic pregnancy cannot be treated by abortion. For early ectopic pregnancy, special treatments can be used to end the pregnancy, but it may cause blockage of the fallopian tubes. In severe cases, abdominal surgery must be performed. However, the surgery must be performed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be life-threatening.
