Patient's question:
This time I took a pregnancy test at home with a test strip, and it showed I was pregnant. I want to have an abortion, but I'm a bit sad. Is an abortion or an ectopic pregnancy necessarily surgical, or can it be resolved with medication? If it's surgical, will it affect future fertility? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy do not necessarily require surgery; they can also be managed through conservative medication. Therefore, it is important to focus on resting and avoid strenuous exercise. It is recommended to visit a hospital promptly for a follow-up ultrasound to assess the size of the gestational sac and the severity of the condition. After diagnosis, medication can be administered as needed. It is also safe to undergo medication abortion within 50 days of an accidental pregnancy, but it is essential to prevent residual tissue.Additionally, during the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Rest is essential, but light activity is permissible to avoid unnecessary harm. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
