After pregnancy, if a woman is found to have an ectopic pregnancy, she should receive timely treatment. In addition, some ectopic pregnancies can be treated conservatively by injecting injections, which can also serve the purpose of terminating the pregnancy. However, using this treatment method also requires hospitalization, which is beneficial for observing the treatment effect. So, how long does it take to get discharged after receiving an injection for ectopic pregnancy?
1. Ectopic pregnancy refers to the formation of a fertilized egg that implants outside the endometrium, such as tubal pregnancy, cervical pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy, cornual pregnancy, and abdominal pregnancy. Early detection of ectopic pregnancy in any part of pregnancy requires timely treatment to avoid further growth and development of the gestational sac in other parts, leading to rupture and massive bleeding.
2. Most women with ectopic pregnancy can be discharged after one week of hospitalization treatment, but conservative medication therapy using injections requires a relatively longer hospitalization time. Generally, women with ectopic pregnancy who receive conservative treatment with injections and have good results can be discharged from the hospital in about 10 days. However, before discharge, it is necessary to undergo a blood HCG test to recover to the level of non pregnancy, and the lump must have decreased and disappeared in order to be safely discharged.
3. Patients with ectopic pregnancy who undergo conservative treatment with injection drugs may also experience drug treatment failure. In such cases, further surgical treatment is required, which may also lead to delayed hospitalization. In addition, some women with ectopic pregnancy require direct surgical treatment based on indications. These patients usually recover and are discharged after one week of hospitalization.
