Wanting to try again
So 3 years I lost my left tube, still not over the heartache of this and I don’t think Iv ever processed or grieved through everything, but now thinking of trying again, the only problems I have is my weight (this according to drs played an impact on my treatment) and the fact I could go through exa...

Re: Eptopic surgery to remove tube, clothes after
Hi,
I found that I couldn’t even put trousers on for weeks so I would wear dresses or nighties something that wasn’t around my stomach and bruising I know the weather is rubbish now but I found that most comfortable is loose fitting clothes.
Hope this helps x

Re: Pain where tube has been taken
Hi Ellie,
Ah that would make sense! I’m just so worried about the other one rupturing with any pain that I get in my stomach! But thank you for the reassurance

Re: Pain where tube has been taken
Thank you both for your replies, Iv already gone back to work and do full time hours but it’s a lot of sitting so if I sit for too long I ache and get the pain, I will definitely take the advice and rest more as I don’t think I’m doing this enough.

Pain where tube has been taken
Hi,
I’m 4 weeks into recovering from having my left tube removed I’m just wondering if anybody has had pain where they’ve had the tube removed does it take longer to heal on the inside?
Thank you x

Re: Injection
Hi,

Re: What can I do after ectopic surgery?
Hi, I was thinking about going into a swim pool and the sea abroad (different from a spa I know) and I’m a week out from surgery and was advised by a pharmacist to not go into either as they still both carry germs, it may be worth the ask from a pharmacist to see what they say. Like I said pool and ...
