Patient's question:
Stayed in the hospital for 8 days for ectopic pregnancy treatment, HCG dropped from 406 to 45 before discharge. On November 28th, HCG check was normal. After that, had two menstrual cycles, intermittently took Chinese medicine and had enemas with Chinese medicine. What problems should be paid attention to after ectopic pregnancy surgery?Doctor's answer:
Within 2 weeks after ectopic pregnancy surgery, proper rest should be taken, and heavy physical labor should be avoided. Eat more nutritious foods to help the body recover quickly. Abstain from sexual activity for 1 month to prevent infections of the reproductive organs. If pregnancy is desired, it should be delayed for at least a year. If you experience fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal vaginal discharge with an unusual odor, seek medical attention promptly. During this period, avoid alcohol, and do not bathe without permission from your doctor, as bathing may sometimes trigger infections. To ensure the health of the mother, do not get pregnant immediately after surgery, as the uterus is damaged during the procedure, making pregnancy at this time very dangerous. Therefore, safe contraceptive measures must be taken.
