How to Treat Ectopic Pregnancy?

Immediate medical evaluation

Confirm diagnosis with pregnancy test and transvaginal ultrasound

Monitor vital signs and assess for rupture or internal bleeding

Methotrexate for eligible, stable, unruptured ectopic pregnancy

Surgical treatment with laparoscopy or laparotomy if ruptured, unstable, or not suitable for medication

Salpingostomy or salpingectomy depending on location and extent of damage

Pain control and supportive care

Rh immunoglobulin for Rh-negative patients when indicated

Follow-up with serial hCG tests until levels are undetectable

Emergency care if severe abdominal pain, fainting, shoulder pain, or heavy bleeding occurs
