Medication
An early ectopic pregnancy without irregular bleeding is mostly treated by stopping cell growth and dissolving existing cells. The medication is given by injection. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy must be assured before receiving this treatment.
After the injection, your doctor will recommend another HCG test to determine how well the treatment works and if you need more medication.
Laparoscopy
Salpingostomy and salpingectomy are 2 laparoscopic surgeries that are used to treat ectopic pregnancies. First, the surgeon makes a small cut in the abdomen, near or in the navel in this surgery. Next, your surgeon uses a thin tube fitted with a camera lens and laparoscope to view the tubal area.
In a salpingostomy surgery, the ectopic pregnancy is removed, and the tube is left to heal on its own. In a salpingectomy surgery, the ectopic pregnancy and the tube are both removed.
Which procedure you should have is depended on the amount of bleeding and damage.
Emergency surgery
If the ectopic pregnancy causes heavy bleeding, you must need emergency surgery. This can be done by laparoscopy surgery or through an abdominal incision. In some cases, the fallopian tube can save. Typically, a ruptured tube must be removed.
