What is the reason for the odor after ectopic pregnancy surgery?

Patient's question:

I had an ectopic pregnancy surgery about three months ago. My first period came three days after the surgery. The second time, I'm not too sure, maybe around a month. Both times, the flow was very light. But this time, it's been over a month and I haven't had my period. Is this normal? Before my surgery, my periods were also irregular—I didn't have them every month. After the surgery, for about two months, I had a period every day and had to change my pads frequently. Besides the smell, what could be the reason? Seeking an answer.

Doctor's answer:

The menstrual cycle was not very regular to begin with. After the ectopic pregnancy surgery, the menstrual flow became less, which might be due to insufficient qi and blood. If there is excessive vaginal discharge with an odor, it is most likely related to inflammation. It is best to have a gynecological examination and ultrasound to determine the treatment plan. For severe ectopic pregnancy cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or herbal remedies, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can assist you. Thank you.
