Patient's question:
I was carefully diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy on August 2, 2011. On August 6, I underwent laparoscopic surgery and was discharged on the 11th. After the surgery, I have had symptoms of bleeding. I stopped for two days in the middle, and then on August 20, I had what I don’t know if it counts as a menstrual period. By September 1, I was still bleeding, and there was a noticeable increase in the amount of bleeding over these two days. I wanted to ask you, how serious is this?Doctor's answer:
Hello: You have been experiencing vaginal bleeding since your ectopic pregnancy surgery, with intermittent spotting that has been ongoing to this day, and the amount is currently increasing. I want to know what to do.Advice: Hello, have you had your blood HCG checked after the surgery? Generally speaking, after surgery, as the levels of progesterone and HCG in the body decline, the endometrium may also shed again, leading to a period of bleeding. However, spotting rarely lasts for a month, so the first suggestion is for you to have your blood HCG checked and ideally also have an ultrasound to determine the appropriate course of action.
In addition, during the treatment for ectopic pregnancy, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet.
