Patient's question:
My wife carefully discovered an ectopic pregnancy. It is said that the surgical treatment carries a high risk, but I don't know if conservative treatment is good or not. What impact do these two treatment methods have on future fertility? I want to know whether conservative treatment or surgery is better for ectopic pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
How to implement conservative treatment or surgical treatment for ectopic pregnancy is not a decision you make. This is because conservative treatment requires that the gestational sac in the ectopic pregnancy has not ruptured before it is generally decided to pursue conservative treatment. Only if conservative treatment is successful does it then become necessary to implement surgical treatment. Therefore, the two are not sequential but rather, a successful outcome determines the next step.In addition to timely treatment, patients with ectopic pregnancy should also maintain a proper diet in daily life to supplement their nutritional needs. I hope the above answer helps you. Thank you!
