Patient's question:
Undergoing laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy, Day 8 now with heavy lochia, stomach discomfort with a feeling of bloating pain, left fallopian tube removed, severe constipation, and skin breakdown.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, 8 days after ectopic pregnancy surgery, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels have rapidly increased, so I assume the vagina should be normal. The laparoscopic surgery showed very small external wounds, but the internal abdominal wounds were still relatively large, especially since it involved electrocautery, making the wound recovery process slower. However, it is important to consult the surgeon for follow-up examinations promptly. If any abnormalities are detected, they can be addressed in a timely manner. If no abnormalities are found, proper rest and nutrition should be maintained, but fish should be avoided for at least 4 weeks, while consuming more chicken soup is recommended.For the patient, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary to prevent recurrence. Additionally, the patient should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood.
