Can ectopic pregnancy be terminated with medication?

Patient's question:

Because the contraceptive measures were not properly taken during cohabitation, it resulted in pregnancy. However, it was discovered to be an ectopic pregnancy. I want to use medication to induce an abortion. Can ectopic pregnancy be terminated with medication?

Doctor's answer:

Cannot use medication to induce abortion. Ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation and development of a fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity, which is an abnormal pregnancy. It is not advisable to take abortion medication to avoid severe bleeding and other complications that could endanger a woman's life.
If diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly at a local hospital's gynecology and obstetrics department. Treatment options, such as surgery or conservative management, will be determined based on individual circumstances. During treatment, it is important to rest in bed and avoid strenuous exercise. Maintain a calm mood and avoid excessive stress.
