HCG levels rising after a ectopic pregnancy re-examination indicate what?

Patient's question:

After being discharged three days after receiving harsh treatment for ectopic pregnancy, the follow-up test results showed fluid accumulation, with HCG levels rising from 239 to 201, and no significant change in the size of the mass.

Doctor's answer:

Ectopic pregnancy requires strict treatment. The slow rise in hCG levels indicates that the treatment effect is not very ideal. Generally, the lump will not grow within three days of treatment. If there is no severe abdominal pain, you can wait and see carefully. Re-examine the hCG levels after seven days to understand how significantly they rise. Patients should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can we reduce the patient's immunity and the belief to fight the disease. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care and maintain a balanced nutrition.
