Why is HCT always high after ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Previously, I noticed pain in my lower abdomen with blood. Regarding past treatment and its effectiveness: I had a hysteroscopy to preserve the fallopian tube, received injections to terminate the pregnancy, and took medication. HCT continued to remain at 2000 and did not go down. What kind of help do you need: Why is this happening? I expect the experts to provide a clear answer. Is there a better treatment method?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a positive postoperative test indicates that the postoperative HCG level has not yet returned to the pre-pregnancy state, and the duration varies from person to person. It generally takes about half a month to normalize. If all the careful examination results are normal and there are no other discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to wait and see. For ectopic pregnancy patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care. It is advised that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
