Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy at the hospital and immediately started conservative treatment. Because I have a severe reaction to metronidazole, I haven't been given intravenous fluids for inflammation treatment. Instead, I am taking oral roxithromycin and cephalexin. Is this okay?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Conservative treatment for ectopic pregnancy:1. Pay attention to diet and nutrition, ensuring adequate protein intake.
2. Balance work and rest, avoid heavy physical labor, and minimize abdominal pressure. Constipation sufferers may use purgatives to prevent the mass from rupturing.
3. Regular follow-up: After discharge, come back for examination and B-ultrasound retesting one month later or after menstruation ends.
4. Practice contraception: For patients who have already given birth, if the ultrasound shows the mass has disappeared, they may resume sexual activity after follow-up ends. For patients who have not yet given birth and are planning another pregnancy, tubal patency testing must be performed after the mass disappears on ultrasound, and pregnancy is only possible after confirming both tubes are unobstructed.
5. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene to prevent infection.
6. Avoid public places when your immunity is low.
7. Stay warm to prevent colds.
