Sharp pains on surgery side months after Surgery

Post by Nicolebronson9 »

Hi,

I had an ectopic pregnancy back in March this year I had my surgery removing my left Fallopian tube in March the 17th now since the surgery I have sharp pains when I’m ovulating on the side of my surgery.Although it has missed out one month.I have also found that my PMS Symptoms are very extremely I feel a very big drag in my lower abdominal, tired all the time ,exhausted and very emotional I cry all the time.I also have very bad pain and a big increase in size of the breasts.

Is this normal ?

Thank you

Sending love to everyone who has has to deal with this in such difficult times already ❤️

Dear Nicole,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Experiencing some pain after an ectopic pregnancy is normal as your body has been through a great deal over the last few months. The pain may be due to adhesions (scar tissue that binds two parts of the body together) which form and take some time to settle. Your body may be preparing to ovulate and many women experience ovulation pain when they did not before their ectopic pregnancy - including myself. You also may have a heightened perception because of the sad loss that you have had to go through. You also around like your hormones are taking time to settle too.
If your symptoms persist, I suggest keeping a pain diary noting when the pain appears, the intensity on a scale of 0-10 and anything that helps the pain eg resting, hot water bottle, paracetamol etc and how your emotions are affected. Visiting your doctors with this information helps them to assess how best to manage your symptoms.

Sending much love,
Karen x
