Patient's question:
Is cornual pregnancy an ectopic pregnancy? Is surgery required? Can it be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
Strictly speaking, cornual pregnancy is not an ectopic pregnancy. There are generally three possible outcomes of the expansion of recurrent cornual pregnancy: second, the gestational sac stops growing and results in miscarriage; second, it leads to cornual rupture; and third, it can progress to late-term natural labor. If an early pregnancy is confirmed to be terminated, medication abortion can be used to terminate the pregnancy, but it must be carried out in a hospital during the medication period to prevent excessive bleeding, which could be dangerous.
