Some expectant mothers may experience ectopic pregnancy during pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy, is a process in which the fertilized egg develops outside the uterus. If this happens to expectant mothers during pregnancy, it will not only cause harm to themselves, but also cause the fetus in the womb to be unable to grow and develop normally. Therefore, if this happens, expectant mothers must seek timely treatment. So, can Chinese medicine treat ectopic pregnancy?

In addition, sometimes surgery is needed because the treatment is not thorough, which can easily waste the patient's time, physical strength and money. With the continuous improvement of modern diagnostic technology, the accuracy of diagnosis is also increasing. This provides strong support for further treatment.
