If you have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, consult with the expert obstetrics-gynecologists at KK Virat Hospital, Karimnagar for safe and advanced treatment.
What is Ectopic Pregnancy?
Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. This can happen in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, abdominal cavity, or cervix. Unfortunately, the fertilized egg cannot develop properly outside the uterus, making early intervention crucial to prevent life-threatening complications. Depending on the severity and symptoms, our gynecologists may recommend medications, laparoscopic surgery, or dilation & curettage (D&C) for treatment.

Diagnosis of Ectopic Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy is usually diagnosed during a routine visit to a gynecologist. The diagnostic tests include:
- Ultrasound – Determines whether the fertilized egg is implanted inside or outside the uterus. If ectopic pregnancy is confirmed, immediate treatment is required.
- Urine Test – Confirms pregnancy by detecting hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone.
- Blood Test – Further confirms pregnancy and tracks hCG levels.
Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment Options
Medication for Ectopic Pregnancy
If the ectopic pregnancy is detected early, one injection is given to stop cell growth. hCG levels are monitored before and after the injection to ensure the pregnancy ends successfully.
However, this method requires close monitoring and is not always preferred due to the risk of recurrence.
Surgical Treatments for Ectopic Pregnancy
When medication is not an option, surgery is performed to remove the ectopic pregnancy. Surgical methods depend on the location of the pregnancy:
- Fallopian Tube Ectopic Pregnancy
- Salpingostomy – A small incision is made in the fallopian tube, and the ectopic tissue is removed.
- Salpingectomy – The affected fallopian tube is removed entirely if it is severely damaged.
- Ovarian Ectopic Pregnancy
- The ectopic tissue is carefully removed from the ovary using laparoscopic surgery.
- Abdominal Ectopic Pregnancy
- The fetus is removed from the abdominal cavity through laparoscopy.
- Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy
- The pregnancy is removed through a D&C (Dilation & Curettage) procedure.
Different Surgical Approaches for Ectopic Pregnancy
- Abdominal Surgery (Open Surgery)
- An incision is made at the ectopic pregnancy site, and the embryo is surgically removed.
- Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimally Invasive)
- A tiny keyhole incision is made, and the ectopic pregnancy is removed using a laparoscope. This method ensures quicker recovery and minimal scarring.
- D&C (Dilation & Curettage) for Cervical Ectopic Pregnancy
- The cervix is dilated, and the remaining pregnancy tissue is carefully removed.
How to Prepare for Ectopic Pregnancy Surgery?
To ensure a smooth procedure and recovery:
- Inform your doctor about all current medications, supplements, and herbal remedies.
- Avoid blood thinners and certain medications that may interfere with surgery.
- Keep blood pressure and sugar levels under control.
- Do not eat or drink for at least 4-6 hours before surgery.

After surgery, your body needs time to heal. Follow these precautions:
- Start gentle movement to prevent blood clots.
- Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities.
- Refrain from swimming until stitches heal.
