What are the treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Female, 22 years old. I am not married, but I found out I am pregnant. What's worse is that a hospital check revealed it to be an ectopic pregnancy. I was never planning to have this child, but now the check shows it's an ectopic pregnancy. I've heard that ectopic pregnancy can affect future fertility and may even be fatal. I'm really scared. Could you please tell me: What are the treatment options for ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for ectopic pregnancy
1. Medication Treatment: Taking medication to eliminate the embryo.
2. Surgical Treatment: If medication is taken to eliminate the embryo but the body still fails to expel it, it is not appropriate to focus solely on conservative treatment. Immediate surgical intervention should be considered. If the embryo has lost its viability, the risk of it causing a fallopian tube rupture is relatively low, but the likelihood of local infection is high. In such cases, doctors will generally recommend the patient to undergo surgery promptly.
It is recommended that you visit a local reputable hospital for follow-up treatment.
