The follow-up visit for open or laparoscopic approaches is 1-2 weeks postoperatively.
The patient should notify the gynecologists if increasing or persistent abdominal pain, or bleeding or purulent discharge from the incision.
Medications should be taken as per the gynecologists prescription.
If the patient has delayed periods, vaginal bleeding/spotting, and severe abdominal pain consult the doctor immediately, as it could be an ectopic pregnancy.
