Help Needed: What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, the patient's main symptom is pain. In this case, it is primarily considered to be an issue of inflammation. Based on your description, it appears to be caused by chronic inflammation. Whether the fallopian tubes are blocked may require a contrast examination. It is recommended to undergo a fallopian tube contrast examination 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends to determine if the fallopian tubes are open.
Hello, generally speaking, sometimes after ectopic pregnancy surgery, if hormone levels decline rapidly, it is possible to have one menstrual period. This can be considered as the last menstrual period. If there is still no menstrual period after more than one month, an ultrasound can be performed to check the endometrial thickness, and progesterone may be used if necessary. For pelvic inflammatory disease, anti-inflammatory treatment is sufficient.
