Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, this is my first prenatal check-up today. The doctor found that my hCG doubling is not good, and I also have some irregular bleeding. After the examination, it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. Please ask: Is surgery necessary for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
No, the best treatment for ectopic pregnancy is to choose the most suitable treatment based on the situation. When ectopic pregnancy is detected early, chemotherapy drugs can be used to stop the growth of the fetus developing outside the uterus to prevent it from rupturing. When the ectopic pregnancy is larger and growing in the fallopian tube, causing rupture and bleeding, then surgery must be performed immediately, otherwise it may endanger the life of the pregnant woman. The best approach for ectopic pregnancy is early detection and early intervention. As for the impact on fertility, it will affect fertility to some extent. If chemotherapy drugs are used for treatment, the impact is relatively minor, but you must pay close attention to the possibility of another ectopic pregnancy in the next early pregnancy. If surgery is performed, it is possible that one fallopian tube may be removed in severe cases.
