Patient's question:
I recently feel unwell, with nausea and vomiting, stomach pain. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I am pregnant, but it is an ectopic pregnancy. I don't want to have an abortion, I want to keep the baby. I would like to ask if ectopic pregnancy can be treated strictly? Can the baby be delivered successfully?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy, which proves that the embryo is not developing within the uterine cavity but outside it, is most commonly seen in fallopian tube pregnancy. Since the lumen of the fallopian tube is relatively narrow, as the pregnancy progresses and the embryo decreases, there is a higher risk of re-emerging ectopic pregnancy rupture and severe bleeding. Therefore, for ectopic pregnancy, it is generally not possible to reach full term. Once diagnosed, early termination of early pregnancy is required. If detected early, aggressive treatment can be considered, such as medication-induced abortion. If detected late, surgical treatment is usually necessary.
