Ectopic pregnancy is a relatively dangerous situation. The fertilized egg does not implant and develop in the normal uterine cavity, but develops elsewhere, which can cause harm to other parts. When the fertilized egg in the affected area continues to develop and grow, it may cause rupture. Therefore, women need to treat ectopic pregnancy in a timely manner. The earlier the treatment, the better, to avoid causing heavy bleeding and other situations. There are many ways to treat ectopic pregnancy, but why is curettage necessary for ectopic pregnancy?
Ectopic pregnancy requires curettage to prevent placental residue. Curettage can thoroughly remove the residue, thereby avoiding inflammation and protecting women's physical health. After undergoing surgery for ectopic pregnancy, the use of curettage depends on the specific situation. Women can go to the hospital for a follow-up examination after the surgery. If the fertilized egg has been discharged from the body and the uterine contractions are good, it indicates that the ectopic pregnancy surgery is relatively successful, and curettage treatment is not necessary.
Women should pay attention to postoperative vaginal bleeding. If there is continuous bleeding, even accompanied by abdominal pain, fever, or abnormal vaginal discharge, they should be alert in a timely manner. This may be caused by incomplete discharge of decidua tissue.
Women also need to have their HCG levels tested. If the HCG levels gradually decrease until they return to normal, there is no need to worry too much. Don't overwork yourself after surgery, strengthen your own rest, and eat more healthy and beneficial foods to help the body recover.
