Patient's question:
11 years ago, I had an ectopic pregnancy and had my left fallopian tube removed. I would like to consult, but please don't suggest IVF. Additionally, when would be the most appropriate time to go to the hospital for a check-up (before or after the menstrual period)? Also, I am taking medication for mental health issues and am unsure if it will have any impact on pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, psychiatric medications have a higher probability of causing fetal malformations. If you are still taking oral medication, it is not recommended to conceive.Guidance and Suggestions: Hello, generally, tubal contrast examination can be performed within 3-7 days after the menstrual period. Additionally, a hormone panel test should be conducted to check the hormone levels. Furthermore, follicle monitoring is required, and there are many examination items. Please go to the hospital and follow the clinical diagnosis and doctor's advice.
For patients with ectopic pregnancy, in addition to oral medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, during treatment, maintain good hygiene and keep the private area clean. The doctor also reminds female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
