Patient's question:
My sister went to the hospital for a gynecological examination two days ago. The doctor said it was an ectopic pregnancy. She is now 5 weeks pregnant. Hello, is surgical treatment necessary in the early stage of ectopic pregnancy? Or is there any way to transplant the embryo into the uterus? Is there any danger in ectopic pregnancy surgery?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your questions. Once a ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, it is important to make an early decision to terminate the early pregnancy to prevent any unexpected situations. There are recommendations for the rigorous treatment of ectopic pregnancy. Generally, if there is no risk of a gestational sac rupture, and the hCG level is within 2000, rigorous treatment can be considered. This is usually done with anesthetic drugs, such as methotrexate. Otherwise, surgery must be considered for ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy surgery is more common in gynecology and is a routine procedure with relatively low risk. However, any surgery carries risks for the patient.
