Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment in Kolkata – Quality Care at UMA Medical Related Institute
At UMA Medical Related Institute, we believe that each pregnancy experience is different. But when complications do happen—like an ectopic pregnancy—it's essential to get timely, precise, and expert medical care. Being one of the most reliable centers for Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment in Kolkata, our Gynaecology Department integrates cutting-edge medical technology, seasoned professionals, and empathetic care to provide the best possible results for our patients.
Our objective is to provide safe, effective, and thorough management for ectopic pregnancy with the emphasis on your reproductive health, future fertility, and general health.
What is an Ectopic Pregnancy?
An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants and develops outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. The condition can be called a tubal pregnancy.
Rarely, the egg can implant on the ovary, cervix, or abdominal cavity. Since these sites are not meant to nurture a developing pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy will not continue normally and will produce severe complications if not treated.
Ectopic pregnancy demands urgent medical care, as a ruptured fallopian tube can result in internal bleeding, shock, and fatal outcomes.
Common Causes and Risk Factors
Though ectopic pregnancy may occur in any woman, some conditions and factors can raise the risk.
Some common causes and risk factors are:
-
History of previous ectopic pregnancy
-
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
-
History of tubal surgery or ligation
-
Endometriosis
-
Fertility medications or treatments
-
Presence of IUD at the time of conception
-
Smoking
-
Conception following tubal sterilization or reversal procedure
Our skilled gynecologists at UMA Medical Related Institute perform a thorough assessment to determine the potential causes and avert recurrence in future pregnancies.
Identifying the Symptoms of an Ectopic Pregnancy
Early diagnosis is important to avoid developing complications. The symptoms may change according to how advanced the ectopic pregnancy is, but early warning signs tend to be:
-
Severe or stabbing pelvic or abdominal pain
-
Vaginal bleeding or spotting
-
Shoulder pain (a sign of internal bleeding affecting the diaphragm)
-
Weakness, dizziness, or fainting
-
Nausea or vomiting
-
Pain while urinating or passing stools
If you experience these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. At UMA Medical Related Institute, we provide 24/7 emergency care for ectopic pregnancies and other gynecological emergencies in Kolkata.
Diagnosis of Ectopic Pregnancy at UMA Medical Related Institute
Our Gynaecology Department uses advanced diagnostic tools to accurately identify and locate an ectopic pregnancy.
The diagnostic process typically involves:
-
Detailed Medical History and Physical Examination: Our doctors assess symptoms, menstrual history, and potential risk factors.
-
Ultrasound Scan (Transvaginal Sonography): This diagnostic test is used to verify if the pregnancy is within or outside the uterus.
-
Blood Tests (hCG Levels): Assessment of the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) can identify abnormal development in the pregnancy.
-
Further Imaging or Diagnostic Laparoscopy (if needed): Laparoscopy permits direct viewing of the reproductive organs both for diagnosis and subsequent treatment in complicated cases.
Treatment Options for Ectopic Pregnancy in Kolkata
At UMA Medical Related Institute, our treatment is designed according to each patient's medical condition, pregnancy status, and general health. The primary goal is to eliminate the ectopic tissue, maintain fertility when possible, and avoid complications.
We offer three primary types of treatment:
1. Medical Management (Methotrexate Therapy)
Best for:
Early, unruptured ectopic pregnancies with low levels of hCG and no internal bleeding.
Procedure:
-
One injection of methotrexate, a drug that inhibits the growth of pregnancy tissue, is given.
-
The tissue is gradually absorbed by the body.
-
Regular follow-up blood tests check for the level of hCG to confirm the resolution of the pregnancy.
Benefits:
-
Surgical-free method
-
Low risk of scarring
-
Salvages the fallopian tube for future fertility
Post-discharge care:
Alcohol, folic acid, and strenuous exercises should be avoided by the patient until hCG returns to normal levels.
2. Surgical Management
Suitable for:
Advanced, ruptured, or medically unsuitable ectopic pregnancy.
At UMA Medical Related Institute, our gynecologic surgeons are experts in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, which enables quicker recovery and less postoperative pain.
Surgical options include:
-
Laparoscopic Salpingostomy: The ectopic pregnancy is removed gently without destroying the fallopian tube.
-
Laparoscopic Salpingectomy: If the tube is damaged or ruptured seriously, it should be removed to avoid further complications.
-
Open Surgery (Laparotomy): In exceptional, emergency situations with severe internal bleeding, an open abdominal procedure might be required for life-saving surgery.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Treatment:
-
Minimum blood loss
-
Small cuts and lower scarring
-
Fewer days in the hospital
-
Faster return to normal activities
Our skilled surgeons ensure every procedure is performed with care, safety, and compassion.
3. Expectant Management
Appropriate for:
Stable patients where the ectopic pregnancy can potentially resolve spontaneously, under close observation.
Method:
-
Frequent hCG monitoring and ultrasound assessments.
-
Emergent medical or surgical treatment if hormones increase or symptoms deteriorate.
Conservative care is provided only under immediate medical supervision and limited clinical conditions.
Emergency Ectopic Pregnancy Treatment
A rupture of an ectopic pregnancy is a medical emergency. In UMA Medical Related Institute, our emergency department is fully equipped with modern life-support equipment, 24/7 availability of gynaecologists, and instant surgical treatment facilities.
We prioritize immediate diagnosis, immediate stabilization, and emergency surgery when indicated to save lives and avoid long-term health complications.
Post-Treatment Recovery and Care
Recovery following successful treatment relies on the nature of the procedure and specific health status. Our compassionate care team offers in-depth post-treatment care to facilitate easy recovery and psychological well-being.
Post-treatment care comprises:
-
Pain management and antibiotics for preventing infection.
-
Monitoring hCG levels until they level out at zero.
-
Rest and gradual return to normal activities.
-
Follow-up scans to establish complete recovery.
-
Counselling on future conception and fertility.
We also provide psychological counselling to assist patients in overcoming emotional trauma after loss of ectopic pregnancy.
Fertility After an Ectopic Pregnancy
Most women are able to get pregnant again after treatment for ectopic pregnancy. At UMA Medical Related Institute, our fertility specialists offer individualized advice and treatment to plan future pregnancies safely.
Tips for future pregnancy after ectopic treatment:
-
Take 3–6 months to wait before trying to conceive.
-
Obtain pre-conception counseling to determine tube health and hormone level.
-
Pause using contraception until cleared by your physician.
-
Screen early pregnancy with close monitoring using ultrasound and hCG testing.
We help you get both medical and emotional care for a safe pregnancy life ahead.
