Can ectopic pregnancy be effectively treated conservatively?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I recently got married, and my husband and I are planning to have a child first. I heard that there is a possibility of a recurring ectopic pregnancy, so I want to know if ectopic pregnancy can be treated conservatively? If this situation of recurring ectopic pregnancy occurs, what about the child in my belly?

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal phenomenon. Generally, ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation and development of the embryo outside the uterine cavity. In this case, it is impossible to continue until full term. Therefore, if ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, it is usually necessary to terminate the early pregnancy as soon as possible. If ectopic pregnancy is detected early, conservative treatment can be used to achieve the purpose of miscarriage. However, if there is a rupture and severe bleeding of ectopic pregnancy, surgical treatment is required.
