A brief discussion on the three main methods of treating ectopic pregnancy

In real life, ectopic pregnancy is not a rare gynecological disease. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy may even be as high as 2%, which is extremely harmful to pregnant women. So what are the common methods of treating ectopic pregnancy ? Here are some common methods of treating ectopic pregnancy.

In general, the common methods of treating ectopic pregnancy are:

1. Surgical treatment

1) Salpingectomy. For patients who have already given birth, if the fallopian tube rupture is too severe to undergo a window surgery, a unilateral salpingectomy can be performed to treat ectopic pregnancy. For most women who want to have children, a window surgery can be performed at the fallopian tube rupture, which can preserve a 25% chance of fertility for the patient. 2) Laparoscopic surgery. Currently, the more mature laparoscopic surgery has been recognized by patients. Laparoscopy can remove one side of the fallopian tube, which is very effective in treating ectopic pregnancy. It can also perform a window surgery at the site of ectopic pregnancy, which can preserve the fallopian tube and create conditions for future fallopian tube re-anastomosis, thereby creating fertility conditions for women of childbearing age and increasing the chance of pregnancy. Both of these are good methods for treating ectopic pregnancy.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

At present, the main non-surgical treatment for ectopic pregnancy is conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. However, it takes a long time for traditional Chinese medicine to kill the embryo, and during the conservative treatment, there is a possibility that the embryo will continue to develop and cause fallopian tube rupture. In addition, sometimes surgery is needed to treat ectopic pregnancy because the treatment is not thorough, which is easy to waste the patient's time, physical strength and money.

3. Chemotherapy

It is currently a more advanced method for treating ectopic pregnancy. The method for treating ectopic pregnancy is to insert a catheter through a puncture in the femoral artery (femoral artery), find the site of ectopic pregnancy through the catheter, and then inject a small dose of chemotherapy drugs to achieve the purpose that surgery can achieve. Under normal circumstances, the dose of chemotherapy drugs is much smaller than the tumor, equivalent to 1/4-1/3 of the chemotherapy drugs for tumors. Because it is locally administered, it does not circulate through the liver and kidneys, and the effect is concentrated, the effect is very good, and some reactions after tumor patients use chemotherapy drugs will not occur. Especially compared with surgical treatment, it is more conducive to future fertility. At the same time, the patient's body will not have any scars, which does not affect the physical charm of women. This is also a good way to treat ectopic pregnancy.

The above is an introduction to the common methods of treating ectopic pregnancy. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Patients should choose the method of treating ectopic pregnancy that suits them according to their actual condition and should not choose blindly.
