Patient's question:
My wife is currently pregnant, but unfortunately, it was an ectopic pregnancy back then. So, we decided on conservative treatment. I would like to ask you, what are the possible outcomes after conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy? Does it significantly affect the chances of future pregnancy? What should we pay attention to after conservative treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy is relatively long. Depending on each person's sensitivity to medication, some may succeed with a single dose, while others may require repeated medication or surgical treatment if conservative treatment is not successful. Even if successful, follow-up HCG level checks are necessary, as there is still a possibility of another ectopic pregnancy during subsequent pregnancy attempts. During conservative treatment, it is important to monitor abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, check HCG irregularly, rest more, exercise less, and maintain a light diet.
