Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, married to her husband for many years and has always wanted a child of her own. Three months ago, she underwent a tubal irrigation procedure, and this month she finally got pregnant. However, after the examination, it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. She feels extremely frustrated. Please ask: How long after ectopic pregnancy surgery will menstruation return?Doctor's answer:
Generally, ovarian function recovers within one to one and a half months, so menstrual periods usually occur around this time. In that case, it's necessary to check for pregnancy to rule it out. Even without ejaculation during intercourse, semen leakage can still lead to pregnancy. Go to the hospital for an ultrasound to examine the endometrial thickness. If the endometrium is too thick, medication may be needed to induce menstruation. Before menstruation, the endometrium is typically around 1.0 cm thick. This could be bacterial vaginosis. The vagina has its own self-cleaning function, and if there are no discomforts, it should resolve on its own. Undergo a check-up. If the endometrium is thick, progesterone can be used to induce menstruation. Dilation and curettage may damage the endometrium, leading to thinning. There are cases of both intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy. Maintain a regular lifestyle, balanced nutrition, and pay attention to breastfeeding. It's best to wait at least six months before getting pregnant again. If medication is used for vaginal infections, this may occur because vaginal congestion can lead to bloody discharge.
