Patient's question:
I had surgery on November 1st, and when I was discharged, my blood HCG was over 40. Two days ago, I had a re-examination, and my blood HCG is now 7. Is it no longer necessary to have follow-up tests from now on? During the re-examination, I also had a transvaginal ultrasound, and the results showed everything was good, with no fluid accumulation. The doctor recommended that I undergo physical therapy (infrared therapy) and an enema. I’m unsure whether I should do it. The doctor said that ectopic pregnancy is caused by inflammation. But my husband says I didn’t have a thorough examination, so how can they know it’s inflammation? Could you please tell me if I can have a thorough examination now, or should I just proceed with the physical therapy and enema? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Your surgical treatment was successful. Tubal patency is an important cause of recurrent ectopic pregnancy, and inflammation can lead to tubal patency. It is still necessary to undergo physical therapy and enema treatment.Advice: It is recommended to follow the doctor's screening level and treat the disease as prescribed. Conception after one year is wished for you!! Ectopic pregnancy is a serious condition, and it is advised that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, such as proper diet, to help alleviate the condition.
The above answer is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
