Frequently Asked Questions
Ectopic pregnancy is typically diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as transvaginal ultrasound. Blood tests may also be performed to measure pregnancy hormone levels (hCG).
Treatment options for ectopic pregnancy include medication (methotrexate) to dissolve the pregnancy tissue or surgery (laparoscopic surgery or salpingectomy) to remove the ectopic pregnancy and repair the fallopian tube. The choice of treatment depends on various factors such as the size and location of the ectopic pregnancy and the patient's overall health.
While ectopic pregnancy cannot be prevented, certain risk factors such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), previous ectopic pregnancy, or tubal surgery may increase the risk. Early diagnosis and treatment of pelvic infections and careful management of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) can help reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
Risks of ectopic pregnancy surgery include bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding organs (such as the bowel or bladder), and potential loss of fertility. Dr. Harshrika Holkar will discuss these risks and benefits with you before recommending surgery.
With prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the prognosis for ectopic pregnancy is generally favorable. Most women recover fully with no long-term complications, although some may experience emotional distress or fertility issues.
