Patient's question:
On July 14th was the last menstrual period, on September 1st, it was discovered to be an ectopic pregnancy. On September 15th, I was hospitalized and received chemotherapy injections. At that time, the blood hCG level was 180. Three days after the first injection, it was 120, four days later it was 149, and on the seventh day it was 270. Then another chemotherapy injection was given. Recently, I have been feeling discomfort in my stomach, often wanting to have a bowel movement, and my bowel movements have also changed—they are no longer the original round shape. I have been feeling nausea, and there is discomfort in several areas of my waist. However, after the second chemotherapy injection, the pain in the location of the fallopian tube mass has subsided. But three days after the first injection, the pain in the location of the mass was very severe at night?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, it should all be side effects of chemotherapy drugs, as the main symptoms are still many, such as nausea and abdominal pain. The side effects of chemotherapy drugs are primarily manifested as cell damage and white blood cell damage. Because you are not directly administering the drug into the blood but applying local anesthesia directly to the fallopian tube of an ectopic pregnancy, the impact on the liver and kidneys is not as significant as taking chemotherapy drugs. You don't need to worry too much. Pay attention to using a bit of Guipi Wan to strengthen the spleen, and pay attention to regular liver and kidney function checks (though this is optional, you can also wait until the treatment is completed and then use herbal medicine to fully recover). ~ Ectopic pregnancy patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding symptomatic treatment. In daily life, they should maintain a proper diet and avoid foods.
