Patient's question:
Female, 29 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 mandatory for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to undergo surgical conservative treatment, also known as fenestration therapy, where a window is created at the site of the ectopic pregnancy to expel the embryo, and then the affected fallopian tube is cleaned. This approach preserves the fallopian tube while preventing potential blockage of the tube by the embryo due to drug-based conservative treatment. For those who have a desire to conceive, this is an excellent treatment option. There are many methods for treating this condition, but since each patient's condition is different, the treatment approach must be tailored accordingly. Therefore, it is essential for patients to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
