Patient's question:
My girlfriend had an ectopic pregnancy a few days ago and then underwent minimally invasive surgery for ectopic pregnancy. So I want to understand how long one needs to stay in the hospital for minimally invasive ectopic pregnancy surgery?Doctor's answer:
If it's an ectopic pregnancy, after being diagnosed with ultrasound, medication treatment can be considered. Conservative medication treatment can last for 1-2 weeks. If the HCG levels don't rise significantly and the ectopic pregnancy mass doesn't grow, surgical treatment can be sought, which is laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has smaller incisions, which are just three small holes on the surface of the body. Hospitalization can last for 5-7 days before you can go home and rest. Regular follow-up tests for HCG and gynecological ultrasound are required.
