Ectopic pregnancy can cause abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and other symptoms, which may last for about a week. If the ectopic pregnancy sac ruptures, it can cause severe pain. In this case, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid serious consequences. For ectopic pregnancy, after diagnosis, it can be treated with drugs or surgery.

Normally, the fertilized egg formed by the combination of sperm and egg will implant in the woman's uterus, then slowly develop into an embryo and grow into a fetus. However, in some women, the fertilized egg can implant outside the uterus. This abnormal situation is called ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can cause abdominal pain symptoms. So, how long will the abdominal pain of ectopic pregnancy last?
1. How long will the abdominal pain of ectopic pregnancy last ? Women with ectopic pregnancy may experience abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and other symptoms around 6 to 8 weeks after menstruation stops. The duration of abdominal pain of ectopic pregnancy varies from person to person. Different people experience different durations and severity of abdominal pain, usually around a week.

2. How to treat ectopic pregnancy
1. Conservative treatment <br/>Not all ectopic pregnancies require surgical treatment, and conservative treatment can also be chosen. Conservative treatment refers to the use of drugs to cause necrosis of the gestational sac. Commonly used drugs in clinical practice are methotrexate and mifepristone. These drugs can inhibit the proliferation of trophoblastic cells and cause them to die, thereby stopping the development of abnormal embryos. Conservative treatment methods cause less trauma to patients and have fewer side effects. However, conservative treatment requires certain conditions to be met, such as the gestational sac does not show obvious fetal heart rate or fetal buds, and the patient's blood HCG should be less than 2000.
2. Surgical treatment <br/>Surgical treatment can also be chosen for ectopic pregnancy. Surgical methods include conservative surgery and radical surgery. For those who still have fertility needs, conservative surgery is generally used, and the corresponding surgical method can be selected according to the location of the fertilized egg implantation. If there is no fertility need, radical surgery can be selected. In short, the corresponding surgery should be selected according to the specific examination results.
3. Interventional therapy <br/>Interventional therapy includes ultrasound interventional therapy, vascular interventional therapy, etc. Currently, interventional therapy has become the preferred treatment for many patients with ectopic pregnancy. As long as there is no heavy bleeding, shock, etc., interventional therapy can be chosen.
