Patient's question:
The child is already two years old, and they are preparing to have another child. This month, their period has been delayed for many days. A few days ago, they went for a check-up and found out they were pregnant, but to their surprise, it was an ectopic pregnancy. They want to ask if ectopic pregnancy can be treated and if it will affect the next pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy can be treated effectively. Treatment options depend on the situation, including surgical or conservative treatment. It is still possible to get pregnant in the future. If hCG levels continue to rise and the ectopic pregnancy mass continues to shrink, surgical treatment is recommended to prevent recurrence of ectopic pregnancy rupture, which could lead to severe internal bleeding and potentially life-threatening shock. It is advised to seek hospitalization for close observation and treatment promptly.
