Hi, Ectopic pregnancy is not treated by D&C; D&C is only used to differentiate between a intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy. The management techniques for ectopic pregnancy depend on the mode of presentation; if the patient presents with a ruptured ectopic, and has been hemorrhaging internally, major surgery is indicated to stop the bleeding and to try to save the tube. If it is not possible to save the tube, the tube on the affected side is removed. If the patient presents to the hospital in a stable condition and the pregnancy has not ruptured, medical management in the form of methotrexate is advisable. The recovery from this may take longer than the laparotomy procedure. The extent of the damage and the surgery undertaken will determine your chances of future pregnancy. If the internal structures, such as the tube, was not damaged or injured, it is possible to conceive normally in the course of time. Normal duration of recovery from an ectopic pregnancy is about 2.5 to 3 weeks. Do keep us posted on any further doubts in this regard.
