Can I have an abortion if I have an ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy cannot be aborted. An ectopic pregnancy is a fertilized egg that lays outside the body cavity of the uterus. 95% of the most common sites for ectopic pregnancy are the fallopian tubes, which can also lay in the ovaries, abdominal cavity, or even the cervical area, but there is no bed in the uterine cavity and no gestational sac. The abortion procedure is performed by suction to remove the pregnancy from the uterine cavity, thus terminating the pregnancy. In tubal pregnancy, the tubal lumen is small and the wall is narrow, which is not conducive to the development of the fertilized egg, so the fertilized egg often develops poorly. In some cases, when the gestational sac is not visible on ultrasound, and the gestational sac is not visible outside the uterus, and the embryo is not well developed, diagnostic scraping can be considered, that is, to exclude intrauterine pregnancy. If the HCG not only does not drop but also continues to rise after the scraping, and no villi are seen in the scraping out of the pathology, it is clear that the pregnancy is ectopic, which is not an abortion, but a diagnostic scraping method similar to the operation of abortion. The treatment of ectopic pregnancy in most cases requires laparoscopic surgery or conservative treatment by killing the embryo.
