Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year. After getting married for a year, I finally succeeded in getting pregnant. However, after physical examinations and prenatal check-ups, the doctor confirmed that this pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy. The doctor said I cannot keep this child and recommended that I have surgery to terminate it. I couldn’t bear to do that. I want to ask, is surgery always necessary for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
I have reviewed the situation you mentioned. As long as the doctor diagnoses this as an ectopic pregnancy, the child cannot be carried to term. In other words, the child cannot grow normally, and there is also a possibility of a ruptured gestational sac during the growth process, leading to severe bleeding, which could even pose a life-threatening risk to the mother. Ectopic pregnancy can be treated with medication or surgery, but the specific treatment must be guided by a doctor.
