Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, really very sad. I waited so long to get pregnant, but after getting pregnant, there has been irregular bleeding. Moreover, suddenly I had stomach and leg pain and fainted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy, and it had ruptured, almost endangering my life. Thinking about it makes me feel scared. Please ask: How can the treatment after ectopic pregnancy be less harmful?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when ectopic pregnancy is detected, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as early as possible because conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy still has drawbacks.The drug-based conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy is the best option if it can be diagnosed in the early stages of ectopic pregnancy, before the fallopian tube has ruptured, and if there is no desire for pregnancy. This method causes less harm to the patient and allows for easier recovery. However, it should not be used in cases where pregnancy is desired. This is because the destroyed embryo remains in place, often leading to tubal blockage. Therefore, if you want to get pregnant and have children again, it is recommended not to choose conservative treatment.
