Mild Period Pain Like for over a week 4 weeks post surgery
Mild Period Pain Like for over a week 4 weeks post surgery
I had my surgery on the 29th of December, it's four weeks post the operation and have been having mild period pain like pains since a week ago. They come and go but today they have been there since last night. I have a mucus like discharge at times and my tummy just does not feel the same, cold inside the tummy, The pain is mostly on the right side where my right tube was removed. Is this normal? Has someone experienced this. Am due to return to work on the 30th and am worried it could be an infection

Re: Mild Period Pain Like for over a week 4 weeks post surge
Hi Grace2017,
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve suffered an ectopic pregnancy and loss. It is a physical and emotional trauma, and our recovery can take some time.
In regards to the pain, tt can be very normal to feel abdominal pains after treatment for ectopic pregnancy. With surgery, your body has been through a huge trauma and will need time to heal. The pain you are feeling could be due to your body healing or as a result of adhesions or scar tissue which forms as part of the recovery process. It could also be because your menstrual cycle is restarting or because of ovulation pains as many women feel ovulation pains when they did not before. It might also be as a result of heightened awareness after your ordeal.
Although the pain you are having could be due to adhesions, as you are worried about an infection it's worth going to see your Dr's to get checked out and to be on safe side.
With good wishes,
Michele
