Patient's question:
After ectopic pregnancy surgery, blood HCG levels rose. At the time of the surgery, the fallopian tube was preserved. The HCG level was 2800 at the time of surgery. After the surgery, blood tests showed continuous rises in HCG levels. On the twelfth day, the HCG level was 97.36. On the fourteenth day, it was 107.9, showing an increase. On the fifteenth day, it was 125. What could be the reason? Is this because there were leftover trophoblasts not completely removed during the surgery? Because on the twelfth day, an ultrasound and MRI showed no abnormalities in the fallopian tube. Is this a case of persistent ectopic pregnancy, or is there another reason? The doctor prescribed mifepristone, two tablets a day for three days. Is this dosage too low? Should I take six tablets at once for better effectiveness? I am taking it along with traditional Chinese medicine. Does this help speed up the effect? What should be done for persistent ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The dosage of medication is determined by the doctor based on the condition. It will be adjusted gradually according to the changes in the condition. You must never take medication randomly or change the dosage arbitrarily. This can lead to significant adverse reactions. Taking the right medication is the key to treatment, while taking the wrong medication is like poisoning. It can be taken together with traditional Chinese medicine, but there should be a half-hour interval between them.In addition, during the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from ectopic pregnancy.
