Results: sixty-four patients’ serum β-HCG values dropped to the normal level. Among them fifty-eight patients’ serum β-HCG values dropped to normal level with the mass completely disappearing. Ten patients had laparoscopic surgery intervention in the process of conservative treatment. Three patients were intra-operatively diagnosed with ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and six were intra-operatively diagnosed with tubal pregnancies, including one accompanied by pelvic adhesions. One patient was intra-operatively diagnosed with cornual pregnancy with abdominal bleeding.

Conclusion: The conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy using the combination of methotrexate +mifepristone+traditional Chinese medicine.
