What should be done appropriately if you have abdominal pain after an ectopic pregnancy surgery?

Patient's question:

Hello! I ate too much tilapia during my university years. They say tilapia is raised with a lot of female hormones, so I was indirectly affected, which led to infertility after marriage. However, I really hope to have a child of my own, so I underwent an ectopic pregnancy surgery. Now, I have abdominal pain—what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

After the ectopic pregnancy surgery, abdominal pain reoccurred, which may be due to possible inflammation or the relatively short time since the surgery, leading to recurrent uterine cramping pain. There is a certain correlation between these factors. After the surgery, it is necessary to take routine anti-inflammatory and restorative measures. In terms of diet, it should be light and gentle, avoiding extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Rest should be prioritized, and cold compresses should be applied to the lower abdomen. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for the first month, and regular follow-up examinations are required.
In addition, during the treatment for ectopic pregnancy, apart from medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. It is essential to prevent excessive mental tension and worry.
