Cervical pregnancy treated with methotrexate combined with traditional Chinese medicine: a case report and literature review
Combined therapy with MTX and TCM may provide an effective, fertility-preserving option for carefully selected patients with cervical pregnancy. TCM may enhance the efficacy of MTX, facilitate tissue resorption, and reduce drug toxicity. Further research is warranted to standardize herbal dosages and clarify the underlying pharmacological mechanisms.
