After ectopic pregnancy surgery

Most ectopic pregnancies are tubal pregnancies, so we will focus on the recovery time and precautions after tubal surgery for ectopic pregnancy. The common surgeries include tubal resection and tubal incision for embryo retrieval, which are divided into laparoscopic surgery and open surgery according to the procedure. The recovery time after laparoscopic surgery is relatively short. If there is no significant intra-abdominal bleeding before surgery, most patients can be discharged in 1-2 days after surgery; if there is a large amount of intra-abdominal bleeding before surgery and blood transfusion is required during surgery, patients may have a longer recovery time and may be discharged in 4-5 days after surgery. The recovery time after open surgery is relatively longer, and it usually takes about 1 month to recuperate after surgery. There are some other things to pay attention to after ectopic pregnancy, which can help patients avoid postoperative complications, promote wound healing and shorten the postoperative recovery time to a certain extent. 1. Pay attention to checking the blood HCG level regularly and monitor it dynamically until it reaches normal level, which is helpful to understand the treatment effect of ectopic pregnancy on the one hand, and on the other hand, if tubal opening is done to retrieve embryos, close detection of the decline of blood HCG after surgery can 2. change underwear diligently, forbid to take a tub bath, and forbid to have sex for 1 month, otherwise it may cause infection due to wound rupture; 3. pay attention to rest and nutrition after surgery, it is not recommended to overwork or exercise strenuously, and you can eat more high-protein, easily digestible and dietary fiber-rich foods, such as lean meat, milk, eggs, celery, apples, etc., in order to facilitate the recovery of the body; 4. In order to ensure the health of the mother, pregnancy should not be carried out immediately after ectopic pregnancy. It is recommended to consider pregnancy after 3-6 months after surgery, but systematic examinations, such as tubal imaging and hysteroscopy, must be done before pregnancy.
