What are the methods for treating ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is very common, accounting for 3%-5% of pregnant women. Once an ectopic pregnancy is discovered, timely measures must be taken to deal with it, otherwise it may pose a threat to the patient's life.

1. Conservative treatment with drugs

If the ectopic pregnancy is in the early stages of development and the patient has no fertility requirements, drug therapy is the best option, which is less harmful to the patient and easier for the body to recover. After drug treatment, the patient should pay attention to rest, and the patient's body can gradually recover after a period of recuperation.

2. Fallopian tube fenestration and suture

This is the better treatment method for ectopic pregnancy advocated today. Through laparoscopic surgery, the fallopian tube is cut open, the embryo is removed, and then sutured. It can also maintain the original shape and function of the fallopian tube, which helps to maintain the smooth progress of normal conception again.

3. Salpingectomy

For patients with severe ectopic pregnancy, salpingectomy should be considered. Especially for those with hemorrhagic shock, the affected fallopian tube can only be removed by laparoscopy or laparotomy, and blood transfusion should be performed according to the condition.

4. Corpus luteum destruction during pregnancy

Corpus luteum destruction is a new surgical procedure that uses mechanical and drug methods to destroy the corpus luteum, causing a sudden drop in progesterone in the body that supports pregnancy, resulting in natural apoptosis of the embryo. This treatment method does not cause intraoperative bleeding and the patient suffers less pain.
