Pain when bladder empties
Pain when bladder empties
I am week post surgery for an ectopic pregnancy and the removal of my left tube. Like for all of us on here, it’s been an emotional time, made more difficult as the pregnancy occurred after an ivf fresh embryo transfer.
Over the last few days I’ve noticed an increasing pain as my bladder empties while I pee. It starts off fine and then starts to become painful as my bladder empties. It then takes a short while to normalise. I am not quite sure who to see or in fact if this is something common that will pass. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Thank you

Re: Pain when bladder empties
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss, sadly I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your situation. Particularly following surgery, I recommend following up with your GP or surgical team and reporting the symptom. They'd be able to provide the best course of advice and action.
With good wishes,
Michele

I had this exact thing, worried I'd gained a UTI too. The staff in the EPU knew exactly what I was talking about. Something to do with them shrinking my bladder during surgery to work/see better. Can cause mild nerve damage. Probably would have resolved itself soon but a prescription of Colpermin, Buscopan and paracetamol (as I also had rectal spasms) sorted me a treat.
