Patient's question:
I was discharged from the hospital on March 20th after receiving rigorous treatment for an ectopic pregnancy. When I was discharged, my blood HCG level was 158.4. On March 26th, my hCG level was 17.2. Do I need to go for a follow-up blood HCG test later? What else should I pay attention to? The follow-up situation after conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The last check for ectopic pregnancy conservative treatment, the hCG level has dropped to 14.03, close to normal. This indicates that the conservative treatment has been successful, and you have already started your period, meaning you should be recovering well. During your period, there is no need for a follow-up check. Wait until your period ends before going for a recheck, as your period can affect the test results. It is best to go for a recheck 3 to 7 days after your period ends.
