After being diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, is surgical treatment required?

Patient's question:

Female, 25 years old, I don't know if I'm pregnant or not. My period has stopped for a while, and the bleeding has started to be irregular, with dark-colored blood. My lower abdomen also always feels painful. Is this an ectopic pregnancy? If so, please ask: Is surgical treatment required after diagnosing ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

It depends on the location of the embryo. Generally, except for ectopic pregnancies with larger embryos in the isthmus of the fallopian tube that require surgery, other embryos in the late stage of death do not need surgery. Don't hurry, first ask the doctor clearly. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade 3-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations according to their own condition to treat the symptoms accordingly. Additionally, patients need to maintain regular routines, take good care to prevent cold and keep warm, and eat light, thin, and soft foods in daily diet.
