The phenomenon of conservative improvement of ectopic pregnancy

After pregnancy, we definitely hope that the baby can develop healthily and eventually be born. However, many women go to the hospital for examination after becoming pregnant and are diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, which requires treatment, which is generally divided into two methods: conservative treatment and surgical treatment. If you choose conservative treatment, you will definitely be concerned about the conservative improvement of ectopic pregnancy. Let’s take a look below.

If it is really an ectopic pregnancy, there is no choice. You can have surgery or conservative treatment (medication). Conservative treatment usually takes more than half a month, mainly depending on the decrease in blood hcg. Conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy has two meanings. One is simple drug treatment, and the other is conservative surgical treatment.

Conservative medical treatment:

The use of drug therapy (Chinese or Western medicine) can cause the gestational sac to wither and be expelled from the body. This method seems very easy and can easily relieve the trouble of ectopic pregnancy without surgery. However, conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy also has certain risks. If the drugs fail to kill the embryo, it will cause the embryo to grow larger and larger, resulting in fallopian tube rupture and heavy bleeding. Or, if part of the embryo is killed and the other part survives, an old embryo will appear, causing infertility in the future.

Conservative treatment with surgery:

Conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy surgery is for women who desire to have children, especially those whose unilateral fallopian tube has been removed or has obvious lesions. For these patients, it is better to avoid surgical incision if possible, and try to use other methods to remove the embryo. Different surgical procedures can be selected according to the site of implantation of the fertilized egg and the condition of fallopian tube lesions. If it is an infundibulum pregnancy, the products of conception can be squeezed out; if it is an ampulla pregnancy, the fallopian tube is opened to remove the embryo and then sutured; if it is an isthmus pregnancy, the diseased segment is resected and end-to-end anastomosis is performed. If the surgery uses microsurgical techniques, the subsequent pregnancy rate can be improved. In addition to laparotomy, conservative surgery can also be performed via laparoscopy.

Is the success rate of conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy high?

The success rate of conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy is very high, but the conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy causes great trauma to the patient's body and is very unfavorable for giving birth again. However, the minimally invasive surgical technique can reduce the trauma caused during the operation, so laparoscopic surgery is recommended to treat ectopic pregnancy.
