A beta hCG that has come down to 3.6 after treatment for a scar ectopic pregnancy is a reassuring trend, since it shows the pregnancy tissue is clearing. The retained tissue seen after the procedure is still worth confirming has resolved, since leftover tissue in a caesarean scar can occasionally cause bleeding or infection even once the hormone level has fallen.
Next Steps
A repeat pelvic ultrasound would confirm whether the scar area has healed cleanly. Please discuss this with the gynaecologist who treated her, and ask about a repeat beta hCG if needed.
Health Tips
Go back urgently if there is heavy bleeding, fever, or pain, since these can mean the retained tissue needs further attention.
