Doctor's answer:
Hello, after ectopic pregnancy surgery, you can have a follow-up check of your HCG levels in the blood, as well as imaging tests of the uterus and adnexa. If there are no other abnormalities, it is generally recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up check between 15 and 30 days after the surgery. Starting from the day after the ectopic pregnancy surgery, you should avoid excessive labor and exercise. During the postoperative period, do not drink alcohol, and do not take a bath without permission from your doctor, as bathing can sometimes lead to infection. After undergoing laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy, you should wear loose-fitting clothing and avoid tight clothing.
