Patient's question:
My wife was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. After drinking traditional Chinese medicine today, she has been complaining of stomach discomfort. Is it normal to have abdominal pain when taking traditional Chinese medicine for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question. If you have an ectopic pregnancy and during the conservative treatment process, the lesion progresses, you can take traditional Chinese medicine. During the course of taking traditional Chinese medicine, it is a process of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so there may be mild abdominal discomfort or pain. If severe abdominal pain reappears, you should also consider the possibility of lesion rupture during conservative treatment, which may lead to an emergency department situation again. You need to go to the hospital for follow-up promptly.
