What should I do about an ectopic pregnancy?
Ectopic pregnancy, as the name suggests, refers to the implantation of the gestational sac outside the uterine cavity, with the more common types including tubal pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy, and abdominal pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is mainly diagnosed through ultrasound and blood tests. If an ectopic pregnancy is confirmed or highly suspected, treatment should begin, primarily choosing between conservative medication treatment or surgical treatment based on the severity of the condition. 1. If the condition is mild, with HCG levels less than 1000 U/L and the mass volume smaller than 3 cm, conservative medication treatment can be chosen. 2. If the condition is severe, with a larger mass volume and significantly elevated HCG levels, surgical treatment is recommended. Currently, with the advancement of minimally invasive surgery, the majority of ectopic pregnancies can be treated using laparoscopy.
