Patient's question:
I'll translate the content into English, keeping the line breaks as they are:"I'll explain my situation. I had an ectopic pregnancy surgery via laparotomy 3 days ago and had my first period. Now, 40 days after the surgery, I haven't had my second period yet. Also, my urine test shows a weak positive. Is this normal? I haven't had my period 40 days after ectopic pregnancy surgery?"
Doctor's answer:
40 days after ectopic pregnancy surgery, the urine test should be negative. It is best to have an ultrasound now to check the complete recovery of the uterus, and also check the blood to see how HCG returns to normal. The urine test may not be accurate, so blood tests should be used as the standard. Additionally, during the treatment period for ectopic pregnancy patients, the patient's diet and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
