The incidence of ectopic pregnancy (EP) has increased in recent years, owing to causes such as pelvic inflammatory diseases and assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The present study reported a case of a 33-year-old nulliparous woman with a history of previous ectopic pregnancies, who underwent pelvic ultrasound in August 2022, which revealed a double EP including a cervical pregnancy and a tubal stump pregnancy. Despite known risk factors and elevated beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels, a conservative approach, utilizing multiple doses of systemic methotrexate (MTX) injections, was employed to preserve fertility at the Regional Perinatal Center in Aktobe, Kazakhstan. Treatment efficacy was monitored through β-hCG levels and ultrasound imaging, with successful resolution of both EPs and preservation of reproductive function. The present case highlighted the safety and efficacy of MTX therapy in managing complex EP presentations, emphasizing the necessity of individualized treatment approaches in reproductive medicine, particularly in terms of preserving fertility in patients undergoing ART. Multiple high doses of MTX injections were beneficial for pregnancy with two distinct regions, fetal cardiac activity, and elevated serum β-hCG level. Further research is required to explore optimal treatment strategies for EP, considering patient-specific factors and treatment goals.
近年来,由于盆腔炎性疾病和辅助生殖技术(ART)等原因,异位妊娠(EP)的发病率有所上升。本研究报告了一例33岁未生育女性,既往有异位妊娠史,于2022年8月接受盆腔超声检查,结果显示为双胎异位妊娠,包括宫颈妊娠和输卵管残端妊娠。尽管存在已知的危险因素且β-人绒毛膜促性腺激素(β-hCG)水平升高,但哈萨克斯坦阿克托别地区围产期中心采用了多剂量全身注射甲氨蝶呤(MTX)的保守方法来保留生育能力。通过β-hCG水平和超声成像监测治疗效果,两个异位妊娠均成功消退,生殖功能得以保留。本病例突出了MTX治疗在处理复杂异位妊娠情况时的安全性和有效性,强调了生殖医学中个体化治疗方法的必要性,特别是在保留接受ART治疗患者的生育能力方面。多剂量高剂量MTX注射对于两个不同部位妊娠、有胎心活动且血清β-hCG水平升高的情况是有益的。考虑到患者的具体因素和治疗目标,需要进一步研究以探索异位妊娠的最佳治疗策略。
