What should be done if a fallopian tube is blocked due to an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Because I haven't had my period for two months, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found out it was an ectopic pregnancy. Hello, what should I do if the fallopian tube is blocked due to ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

You haven't had your period for two months, and it has been confirmed that it is an ectopic pregnancy. This is generally an abnormal pregnancy, and the first step is to be hospitalized for treatment. If there is no risk of ectopic pregnancy rupture, a more aggressive treatment can be considered. However, if the aggressive treatment is not effective, laparoscopic surgery can be considered. For ectopic pregnancy, it is usually caused by blocked fallopian tubes, which is a result of chronic fallopian tube inflammation. After ectopic pregnancy surgery, tubal patency tests or contrast examinations can be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed, treatments such as tubal irrigation or wire insertion surgery can be used to open the fallopian tubes.
