Patient's question:
How should ectopic pregnancy be treated? Is there medication available for it, or does it require surgery?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy, also known as tubal pregnancy, refers to the implantation and development of a fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity. The most commonly discussed type is fallopian tube pregnancy. As long as the fallopian tube hasn't ruptured, it can be treated conservatively, for example, by removing the embryo through minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. If not treated conservatively, it means surgical treatment, which involves removing the fallopian tube.
