Patient's question:
I had an IUD placed three years ago, and my menstrual cycle has always been very regular. However, this month, my period was delayed by a week, and I've been feeling nauseous and vomiting. After a checkup, it was found to be an ectopic pregnancy. How could this happen? Please advise: What should be done after being diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it may be due to residual embryonic tissue after an ectopic pregnancy surgery, which has led to a persistent rise in hCG. You can visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a follow-up ultrasound to identify the cause and receive treatment. If necessary, you can use blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Rest and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, and pay attention to follow-up ultrasounds. The recurrence of ectopic pregnancy severely affects women's health, and patients should avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay attention to personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
