Patient's question:
Early detection revealed an ectopic pregnancy. Is hospital treatment mandatory for medication? Can I take medication at home?First follow-up question: Can I be treated at home? I don't want to be hospitalized!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, medication abortion is generally chosen. Its indications are women under the age of 40 who have a history of menstruation within 49 days, have been confirmed as having an intrauterine pregnancy, and voluntarily request an abortion. Therefore, it is first necessary to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, it does not necessarily have to be surgically treated. It depends on the patient's symptoms and HCG levels, among other factors. Additionally, sexual activity should be avoided for at least one month to prevent infection, and regular follow-up is required to monitor uterine recovery.
