Does ectopic pregnancy usually cause inflammation?

Patient's question:

I and my husband have been actively trying to conceive. A few weeks ago, I discovered I was pregnant through a pregnancy test, and just like a normal pregnancy, my period stopped. However, my HCG levels were very low. The doctor suspected an ectopic pregnancy, and I am really worried now. Could you please answer: Does ectopic pregnancy usually cause inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

Only a week after the ectopic pregnancy surgery, sexual activity is generally not recommended. After the left fallopian tube is removed, there may be left lower abdominal pain, and there could also be some inflammation. Apart from the pressure in the pelvic area increasing during bowel movements or passing gas, it may also cause dull pain in the left lower abdomen. Currently, antibiotic treatment is necessary, and you need to take anti-inflammatory medication. Avoid sexual activity, and if there is no improvement, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease that can easily occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
