Patient's question:
Why does the mass increase after conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy, when the hCG blood level dropped to 33 and no medication was prescribed, then three days later it rose back to 35? What could be the reason for this? Is it dangerous?Doctor's answer:
The treatment principle for ectopic pregnancy is primarily surgical, with two surgical approaches available: one is to remove the affected fallopian tube; the other is to preserve the affected fallopian tube, which is known as conservative surgery. Conservative surgery is suitable for young women who have fertility requirements, especially those who have had the contralateral fallopian tube removed or have significant abnormalities.
