What to do with ectopic pregnancy? 3 ways to treat it

Under normal circumstances, the fertilized egg implants and develops in the uterine cavity. However, due to various reasons, some fertilized eggs may implant outside the uterine cavity, which is an ectopic pregnancy. Fertilized eggs implanted outside the uterine cavity not only cannot develop normally, but also bring risks to women. Even endangering life safety, so how is ectopic pregnancy treated?

1. Conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy with drugs

In the early stage of ectopic pregnancy, conservative treatment with drugs is suitable for cases where the fallopian tube is not ruptured. The diameter of the pregnancy mass is no more than 3 cm, and there are no obvious internal bleeding symptoms. For people whose blood HCG is less than 2000U/L, conservative treatment is less harmful to the patient. However, the killed embryo is likely to cause fallopian tube obstruction, which has a certain impact on fertility and may cause ectopic pregnancy again.

2. Fallopian tube fenestration and suture

Patients who want to have children can choose minimally invasive surgery. Under laparoscopy, the fallopian tube is cut open to remove the embryo and then sutured. Laparoscopic surgery can remove the embryo more thoroughly. It also helps to maintain the function of the fallopian tube and is suitable for patients with unruptured fallopian tube masses or small ruptures.

3. Salpingectomy

For patients with ectopic pregnancy causing fallopian tube rupture and hemorrhagic shock, for the sake of the patient's life safety, salpingectomy should be performed if necessary to remove the fallopian tube on the affected side together with the embryo mass.

If ectopic pregnancy can be treated in time, fertility can be preserved. It will not have much impact on the quality of life.
