After the opening of the two child policy, many families want to have a second child. However, due to various reasons, things always go against their wishes. Even if some women successfully become pregnant, unexpected situations may still occur, leading to the inability to conceive a baby successfully. Some women may experience ectopic pregnancy and face surgery. So, how long does it take to recover from open surgery for ectopic pregnancy?
The open surgery for ectopic pregnancy requires first cutting open the patient's abdomen to preserve the fallopian tubes as much as possible, but it also depends on the degree of fallopian tube rupture. If the rupture is severe, it needs to be removed. Since it is a surgery, it naturally requires a certain recovery time. Generally, patients need one month to recover, and within one month, the wound will slowly heal after surgery.
After surgery, patients should strengthen their nutrition during the recovery period, supplement more protein, vitamins, fresh fruits and vegetables, which is beneficial for the body to recover as soon as possible. In addition, patients with ectopic pregnancy often bleed more, which may cause anemia. Therefore, postoperative patients should eat more blood nourishing foods, such as pig liver, lean meat, spinach, and red dates, which are beneficial for the body's recovery. If anemia is severe, oral medication can also be used for treatment.
After ectopic pregnancy surgery, blood HCG needs to be monitored, and only when the blood HCG drops to normal can one rest assured. After surgery, women should not let the wound get wet to avoid infection. They should try to take a shower half a month later and also pay attention to rest more.
