Approach to Ectopic Pregnancy

Outside of the uterus, a fertilized egg cannot develop normally. It is necessary to remove the ectopic tissue to avoid potentially fatal consequences. This can be accomplished with medication, laparoscopic surgery, or abdominal surgery, depending on your symptoms and the time the ectopic pregnancy is found. Methotrexate, a drug that dissolves existing cells and slows cell growth, is most commonly used to treat an early ectopic pregnancy without unstable hemorrhage. The drug is administered intravenously. Prior to starting this treatment, it is crucial that the ectopic pregnancy diagnosis be confirmed.
