Is methotrexate effective for treating ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy after a thorough examination at the hospital because I missed my period. Is methotrexate treatment effective for ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

If it has been clearly diagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy, the doctor will decide whether to use conservative treatment or surgical treatment based on your specific condition. If conservative treatment is chosen, methotrexate is a commonly used medication. This is a chemotherapy drug that can be used for fetal demise treatment. Each person's response to the drug is different. During conservative treatment, it is important to monitor the changes in blood hCG levels according to the doctor's advice to assess the success of the treatment.
