Pipe abortion

The only way to treat an ectopic pregnancy is to have an abortion. Ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of an embryo outside the uterine cavity. In this case, most often the embryo is located in the fallopian tubes, less often in the ovaries, the uterine horn and even in the abdominal cavity. In those cases where the embryo is located in the fallopian tubes, a tubal abortion is performed.

How is ectopic pregnancy treated?

The main methods of treating pathology are medical and surgical methods of abortion. In this case, surgical abortion with ectopic pregnancy is a common method of treatment of this pathology. As a rule, the whole complex of measures consists of the following stages:

• operation;
• fighting with bleeding;
• postoperative rehabilitation;
• restoration of reproductive function.

In most cases, laparoscopy is used to perform an operation in tubal pregnancy. However, a contraindication for its conduct is hemorrhagic shock, for the treatment of which you may need access to the abdominal cavity.

How is medical treatment of ectopic pregnancy carried out?

In the treatment of tubal pregnancy by medicamentous method invasive echography is used, which involves the introduction of medications. Usually, artificial analogues of folic acid are used, which are injected directly into the lumen of the fetal egg, after removing the amniotic fluid from it. In this way, medical abortion is performed with an ectopic pregnancy.

Thus, the method of treatment of tubal pregnancy is chosen by the doctor, based on the general condition of the pregnant woman, and also depends on the duration of the current pregnancy. In those cases when the diagnosis is established for a period of 10-12 weeks, only surgical treatment is performed.
