Patient's question:
After the doctor suspected an ectopic pregnancy based on blood HCG levels (105—152—202), ultrasound scans failed to locate the gestational sac. Later, Mifepristone (6 pills) was prescribed for emergency treatment. After taking it, she experienced three days of bleeding with no abdominal pain. As of yesterday (December 2), a blood HCG test showed 17.97, and the doctor said the emergency treatment was highly effective. At the same time she started taking Mifepristone, the doctor also prescribed her Guizhi Fuzhen capsules. However, one month after the bleeding began, there is still a small amount of spotting. The doctor explained that taking Guizhi Fuzhen capsules can cause bleeding.Previous Treatment and Results:
After taking Mifepristone for emergency treatment, her blood HCG levels continued to rise until December 2, when it dropped to 17.97.
Assistance Needed:
1. I would like to consult about how long I might continue bleeding in my current condition.
Doctor's answer:
Based on the described situation, it is determined that the stringent treatment was implemented because the ectopic pregnancy sac was not found. After taking Femicestone and Guizhi Fuling Pill, vaginal bleeding is a normal phenomenon. This is because, after terminating an early pregnancy, the originally thickened endometrium, which was rich in blood, undergoes rupture, shedding, and destruction, destroying the conditions for the fertilized egg to implant, thereby achieving the purpose of miscarriage. Therefore, as long as you follow the doctor's advice, there is no need to worry. It is necessary to regularly visit the hospital for follow-up examinations.
