Patient's question:
I have been having stomach problems recently and my period was delayed by a few days. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told it was an ectopic pregnancy and had surgery performed. How many days of leave are required for ectopic pregnancy according to national regulations?Doctor's answer:
According to national regulations, maternity leave is 98 days. If there is a difficult birth or multiple births, an additional 15 days will be added. Female employees who suffer a miscarriage before 4 months of pregnancy are entitled to 15 days of maternity leave, while those who suffer a miscarriage at 4 months or later are entitled to 42 days. Ectopic pregnancy refers to a situation where the fetus does not implant in the uterus, with tubal pregnancy being the most common. After rupture, it manifests as acute severe abdominal pain, repeated vaginal bleeding, and even shock. There is no specific maternity leave policy for ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy should not have a legal leave period, and the specific situation still depends on the employer.
