Patient's question:
My friend went for a thorough check-up during her pregnancy and found out she had an ectopic pregnancy. How should she deal with it if she discovers the ectopic pregnancy one month after?Doctor's answer:
Upon discovering an ectopic pregnancy, once diagnosed, if there is no rupture, hospitalization is required for conservative treatment, using medication to provide symptomatic treatment, and close monitoring with follow-up blood hCG and color Doppler ultrasound to examine the specific condition inside the pelvis. If a rupture occurs, emergency surgery is necessary in the emergency department, as it can otherwise be life-threatening. Proper care and measures must be taken, and regular follow-up tests should be conducted.
