Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for almost a year. Recently, I finally got pregnant, but I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. It was very painful, so I had surgery to remove the baby recently. Now I'm still a bit weak, but today I had my period again. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
The surgery for ectopic pregnancy is essentially a miscarriage procedure. Generally, it will not affect the function of the ovaries. In other words, the ovaries can still normally secrete estrogen and progesterone, and there will also be normal menstrual cycles approaching. Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon in women, mainly caused by the periodic shedding of the endometrium. If there is menstruation, there may also be menopause. After just completing the ectopic pregnancy surgery, it is best not to have sexual intercourse during this period.
