Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Nonsurgical ectopic pregnancy treatment is now more effective due to advances like sensitive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) tests and ultrasound. Systemic methotrexate is a safe and well-tolerated option, with fertility outcomes similar to conservative surgery.
