Patient's question:
I had laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy a week ago, and there is still some bleeding down there. It stopped a few days ago, but it started flowing again yesterday. Is this menstruation or something? I'm preparing to have the stitches removed tomorrow.Doctor's answer:
One week after ectopic pregnancy surgery, if the bleeding is not significant, it can take up to two weeks to return to normal. If there is bleeding one week after ectopic pregnancy surgery, it should not be the onset of menstruation. Tomorrow, the stitches will be removed, and another check-up can be conducted to see if there are any abnormalities. Ectopic pregnancy patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily eating to avoid irritating foods.
