If an ectopic is : confirmed, sometimes it can be resolved with medical treatment, with no surgery. Your doctor can evaluate, the size of the ectopic and the level of pregnancy hormone, to determine the best treatment option. Generally this is handled quickly to avoid rupture and severe bleeding.

Depends: It depends on the gestational age of the pregnancy as eight week and under ectopic pregnancies can be treated medically with methotrexate rather than surgery. However, larger ectopic pregnancies need immediate surgical attention to avoid rupture and hemorrhage.
