Patient's question:
Ectopic pregnancy has been hospitalized for 5 days, and the HCG level has started at 307. The mass is 15mm??13mm. On the third day of admission, I received medication to terminate the pregnancy (methotrexate) and 50ml was administered. I drank traditional Chinese medicine for 3 days. Yesterday, the HCG level increased to 502, and the mass is about to be heard, with a size of 22mm x 20mm. It has been continuously bleeding. I am 160cm tall and weigh 140kg. The doctor said that on Saturday, 85ml of medication to terminate the pregnancy will be administered. I would like to know, how high is the chance of successful treatment now?Doctor's answer:
For ectopic pregnancy patients who have not yet detected the embryo or fetal heart, if there is no recurrence of rupture, stringent treatment can be adopted. However, during the process of stringent treatment, although blood hCG levels do not significantly increase, the size of the mass may reduce compared to before. The likelihood of stringent treatment is not high, so close and meticulous observation is necessary, and surgery may be required if necessary. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition, and patients should receive timely symptomatic treatment according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, it is important to focus on self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
