Patient's question:
Recently, I found out that I was pregnant, and both my husband and I were very excited about the baby's arrival. Later, when I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, the doctor told me I had an ectopic pregnancy. So, I had surgery right then. However, after the surgery, my legs have been peeling. I wanted to ask if it's normal for the skin to peel after an ectopic pregnancy surgery?Doctor's answer:
Because during pregnancy, whether it is an ectopic pregnancy or an intrauterine pregnancy, the endometrium will thicken. After an ectopic pregnancy surgery, there may be a very small amount of bleeding, but it will not exceed the normal menstrual flow. If the bleeding lasts for a long time and does not stop after one week, it is recommended to go to the surgical hospital for further examination to see what caused the bleeding. Appropriate medication should be used for symptomatic treatment. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
