Patient's question:
After undergoing laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy and pelvic adhesion release, I had my period 26 days ago. Do I need any follow-up tests?Doctor's answer:
Generally, you need to return to the hospital for a follow-up check-up one month after surgery to thoroughly examine the postoperative recovery. You can wait until your menstrual period ends to return for the check-up.Recommendations:
1. Enhance personal hygiene, prevent colds, and avoid overexertion.
2. Drink more water to lower body temperature and detoxify. Pelvic inflammation can easily cause fever, so it’s essential to drink plenty of water.
3. Eat light and nutritious foods. The diet should be based on light foods. Avoid raw, cold, and foods.
4. Avoid sexual activity during menstruation. Refrain from intercourse during your period to prevent infection. Sanitary pads should be kept clean, and it’s best to use sterilized sanitary napkins.
