How long after conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy will menstruation return?

Patient's question:

How long after conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy will menstruation return? If it doesn't come, what's the reason? Should I get a thorough check-up?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment options for ectopic pregnancy only have two: one is conservative treatment, where medication is used to control and reduce the hCG level, allowing the gestational sac to naturally detach and disappear. The other is surgical removal of the fallopian tube. Therefore, if conservative treatment is chosen, the patient will only have their period one month later, provided the gestational sac has completely disappeared and the hCG level has not decreased. Regular follow-up tests are necessary.
