How long to stay in the hospital for an ectopic pregnancy

The length of hospitalization for ectopic pregnancy mainly depends on the treatment method and the treatment effect. Surgical treatment can usually be discharged from the hospital in about 5 days, while drug treatment may take 2 weeks or more. 1. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment is simpler and more thorough than drug treatment, and the hospitalization time is about 5 days. However, if the surgery is conservative, the HCG level should be closely monitored after the surgery, and rechecked once a week, and another surgery may be needed if necessary, and the hospitalization time will be prolonged accordingly. 2. Drug treatment: mainly use methotrexate and other drugs to inhibit trophoblast proliferation and promote necrosis and shedding of embryonic tissues, usually the treatment process is slow, often need 2 weeks or even longer, and every 3-5 days need to review HCG or ultrasound, etc., based on the review results to determine the efficacy, such as poor efficacy of the person may also be changed to surgical treatment in the middle of the process. Ectopic pregnancy should be based on their own situation to choose drug treatment or surgical treatment, if the condition is stable, the HCG level is low and decreasing trend can also choose to look forward to the treatment. The length of hospitalization is mainly based on the effect of treatment, and should actively cooperate with the treatment under the guidance of the physician.
