Does ectopic pregnancy require removal of the uterus?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Does ectopic pregnancy require the removal of the uterus?

Doctor's answer:

The current method for conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy involves intramuscular methotrexate injections, followed by blood HCG tests every other day to monitor the treatment. This is the most commonly used and relatively most effective method. If conservative treatment is not possible or ineffective, surgical treatment is required. Currently, laparoscopy is generally chosen for this purpose.
Pregnancy after a third C-section carries certain risks, with the main risk being uterine scar rupture. Choosing an appropriate time for pregnancy and increasing the frequency of prenatal check-ups are important. Address any issues promptly. Wishing you the best!
