Patient's question:
On March 20th, I had an ectopic pregnancy surgery, and my left fallopian tube was removed. I stayed in the hospital for 4 days. After the surgery, everything was normal. The vaginal bleeding completely stopped on the 27th. Yesterday afternoon, I felt a slight lower abdominal pain, similar to the feeling during my usual menstrual period. When I went to the bathroom, there was a little bit of light red blood. Today, there is still a very small amount of blood, but the color has become very dark, along with some tissue-like material. How long after ectopic pregnancy surgery is it normal to have a menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is impossible to determine if it is menstruation. What color has the blood been? If it is the kind of thing you mentioned, resembling rotten meat, it could be the shedding of fibrotic endometrium after pregnancy. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check what kind of skin peeling it is. Wishing you good health. The daily treatment for ectopic pregnancy mainly involves symptomatic medication. The patient can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
