Patient's question:
Female, 26 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 on having this child, but now the check shows it's an ectopic pregnancy. I've heard that ectopic pregnancies can affect future fertility and may even be fatal. I'm really scared. Please ask: What are the treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterine body or the lower part of the uterus. Most commonly, it implants in the fallopian tubes. The treatment for ectopic pregnancy includes conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Before the ectopic pregnancy ruptures, conservative treatment can be administered by injecting methotrexate to terminate the pregnancy. If the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured or miscarried, surgical treatment is required to remove the affected fallopian tube. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from the disease.
