Can ectopic pregnancy be treated conservatively?

Patient's question:

I just found out that I'm pregnant. The doctor said it's an ectopic pregnancy. How is it treated? Can ectopic pregnancy be treated strictly?

Doctor's answer:

When ectopic pregnancy is not severe in the early stage, if the abdominal pain is not intense and the bleeding amount is not significant, a conservative treatment approach can be adopted. Medications can be used to control the focused expansion of the condition. During this period, it is necessary to pay attention to follow-up hCG tests. If the hCG values rise steadily, it indicates that the condition is being well-controlled. If the hCG values increase or there is a recurrence of progressively increasing bleeding, timely surgical treatment is required.
