Patient's question:
Female, 26 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: Can ectopic pregnancy only be treated with surgery?Doctor's answer:
The standard surgical procedure for treating ectopic pregnancy at Antai is laparoscopic surgery combined with tubal and ovarian fenestration and embryo removal, followed by tubaloplasty. This approach treats ectopic pregnancy while identifying and addressing the underlying causes to prevent recurrence. The procedure involves only a small 0.5cm incision on the abdomen, with a hospital stay of 3-5 days, after which patients can return to normal work. The tubes and ovaries are preserved, maintaining organ integrity and fertility. The traditional method of tubal removal (known for severe cases of tube rupture and life-threatening bleeding) is considered extremely irresponsible.
