How long does it take to recover after laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

On January 16th, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound and was told that there was a right fallopian tube ectopic pregnancy. I was admitted directly and underwent laparoscopic surgery to preserve the tube. Upon admission, my blood HCG was 11642. During the surgery, it was tested twice, with results of over 3000 once and over 880 once. I was discharged on the 20th with a HCG level of over 300. A week later, on the 27th, I had another test, which showed a result of 65.7. The doctor said it was still very high and suggested I come back in another week for another check-up. I am seeking help to understand if this is normal.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your current condition, it has not yet returned to normal. It is still recommended to dynamically and carefully monitor the situation. Generally, it will return to normal within a month. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
