In cases where an ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, timely treatment is necessary. Generally, around 50 days into the pregnancy, there is a possibility of the ectopic pregnancy rupturing, so early treatment is crucial. If it is discovered before rupture, conservative treatment can be an option. However, if an ectopic rupture has already occurred, surgical treatment is required. The type of surgery depends on the specific situation; women who wish to preserve their fertility may undergo a salpingostomy, whereas those without fertility needs may undergo salpingectomy.
