Can ectopic pregnancy be treated with drugs?

For many women who are preparing for pregnancy, being able to get pregnant successfully is a very lucky thing, because not all pregnancies are normal, such as ectopic pregnancy, which is an abnormal pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy not only affects the development of the fetus, but also causes great harm to the health of women and may even cause death. The current treatment methods for ectopic pregnancy mainly depend on the location of the ectopic pregnancy, whether the patient wants to have children in the future, and the physical condition of the patient with ectopic pregnancy. So, can drug treatment be used when ectopic pregnancy occurs? Let’s talk about this issue now.

How to treat ectopic pregnancy

1. Surgery

The main means of treatment is open surgery or laparoscopic surgery, which is mostly used to deal with dangerous situations, first aid, etc.

When the patient shows symptoms such as emergency shock or heavy bleeding, surgical rescue is required. Whether to remove the fallopian tube will be decided based on the patient's condition and whether or not they want to have children.

If the patient's condition is relatively stable and the embryo has not grown too large, the embryo and some tissues can be removed through minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, and then whether to remove the fallopian tube can be determined based on the specific circumstances of the operation.

2. Non-surgical treatment

Non-surgical treatments include chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, interventional treatment, etc., which may cause greater harm to the body. Doctors and patients should carefully consider when choosing a treatment method.

Precautions after treatment of ectopic pregnancy

1. Daily diet should be light.

Avoid eating spicy, raw, cold and irritating foods, and replenish water, high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals in time. After the operation, a woman's body will be very weak. If she does not take good care of her body in time after the operation, she may suffer from a disease that affects her future life.

2. Ensure adequate rest time.

Within one week after the operation, the patient should rest in bed as much as possible, avoid overwork, and avoid pressure on the abdomen.

3. Return to the hospital for regular check-ups.

One month after the patient is discharged from the hospital and the menstruation is over, she can go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound check to see whether the treatment is thorough and then study the follow-up plan.

4. Pay attention to contraception.

Female friends must wait until their bodies have fully recovered and fallopian tube diseases have been cured before planning to get pregnant. If you get pregnant rashly, you are very likely to have another ectopic pregnancy, which is irresponsible to your own body.

5. Pay attention to private hygiene during menstruation to prevent infection.

Women's resistance during menstruation is already weak, and coupled with the impact of ectopic pregnancy surgery on the body, it is very likely that some bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to invade.
