After the formation of the fertilized egg, it will implant in the female uterus. As the fetus grows larger, the female uterus will also grow larger, which is a normal conception. If the fertilized egg does not reach the uterus and implants outside the uterus, it is an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous, and if not treated with surgery in a timely manner, it can easily lead to heavy bleeding. So, what does the decrease in HCG during ectopic pregnancy indicate?
If the HCG value decreases during ectopic pregnancy examination, it indicates that the embryo has been aborted or has died. Embryos cannot absorb sufficient nutrients outside the uterus, making it difficult for them to grow. Women with ectopic pregnancy may experience vaginal bleeding and even leakage of tissue fragments while their HCG levels decrease, which is normal.
Although women with ectopic pregnancy may have a natural miscarriage, they still need to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination to see if there is any residual tissue. If there is still residual tissue in the woman's body, surgery is necessary to remove it. If residual tissue cannot be removed from the female body, it can easily cause infection and inflammation.
In general, a decrease in HCG in women with ectopic pregnancy indicates that the embryo has died, but it should not be taken lightly and needs to be checked again. Women should pay attention to rest more after surgery, maintain a light and nutritious diet, avoid eating greasy and spicy food, and avoid staying up late.
