What should I do if conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy fails?

Patient's question:

I was carefully diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. I just had surgery today, but what should I do if the conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy failed?

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy can be treated surgically after conservative treatment fails. If there are no future desires to conceive, this surgery can remove both the fallopian tube and the gestational sac. Ectopic pregnancy is also a relatively critical condition. During the medication process, it is possible for the gestational sac to continue to shrink, even leading to bleeding. In this case, it is considered that the medication is not effective, which means that conservative treatment has failed.
